Sur sa vieille charrette
Il grattait tout en roulant
Son banjo fait pour les f阾es
De la Nouvelle Orlé–?ns
Et toute une foule
Le suivait gaiement
Des p'tits et des grands
Entre trois et cent dix ans
On his old cart
He was stumming away while driving
His banjo made for partys
From New Orleans
And all the crowd
Was following him happily
Kids and elders
From three to a hundred and ten years old
Hello Mister Sam
Tu joues comme un fou
Hello Mister Sam
Ta musique est pour nous
It's all right
It's all right
莂 nous tient debout
Oh,oh,
Avec ton sourire
En forme de croissant
Tu prends les enfants
Au soleil de tes dents
It's all right
It's all right
Tout l'monde est content
Oh,oh,oh,oh
Hello Mister Sam
You play like a crazy man
Hello Mister Sam
Your music is for us
It's all right
It's all right
It holds us stand up
Oh,oh,.
With your smile
In a croissant shape
You take children
With the sun on your teeth
It's all right
It's all right
Everyone is happy
Oh,oh,oh,oh
Et mé˜ÂÂÂe les chiens
Le suivaient en aboyant
,Jusqu'au fleuve ancien
Qui swignait en avalant
Sa voix de rocaille
Vieille comme le temps
Tout finissait bien
Dans ce film en noir et blanc
Even the dogs
Were following him barking
,Till the old river
That was swinging swallowing
His rocky voice
As old as time
All was ending well
In this black and white movie
Hello Mister Sam
Derrié‘¢e ton banjo
Il y a des tam tam
Des trompettes des saxos
It's all right
It's all right
Oui c'estNot quite alone, not quite in company.
Not quite with you, though so unwithout you
I try not to say too much, feeling distanced.
I try not to say too much, the distance destroys what I am.
Just so you know. (just so you know) I just plain stopped trying.
Just so you know. (just so you know) I made up my mind and
Not quite myself, not quite anyone
Not quite in love, yet drowning in your love.
Your love drowns out who I am.
Just so you know, (just so you know)
I just plain stopped trying.
Just so you know, (just so you know)
I made up my mind and I'm leaving you.
I don't feel alive, at all. (I don't feel at all)
I don't feel alive at all.
