The Load-Out
BRYAN GAROFALO, JACKSON BROWNE
Now the seats are all empty
Let the roadies take the stage
Pack it up and tear it down
They're the first to come and last to leave
Working for that minimum wage
They'll set it up in another town
Tonight the people were so fine
They waited there in line
And when they got up on their feet they made the show
And that was sweet,
But I can hear the sound
Of slamming doors and folding chairs
And that's a sound they'll never know
Now roll them cases out and lift them amps
Haul them trusses down and ge t'em up them ramps
'Cause when it comes to moving me
You know you guys are the champs
But when that last guitar's been packed away
You know that I still want to play
So just make sure you got it all set to go
Before you come for my piano
But the band's on the bus
And they're waiting to go
We've got to drive all night and do a show in Chicago
Or Detroit, I don't know
We do so many shows in a row
And these towns all look the same
We just pass the time in our hotel rooms
And wander 'round backstage
Till those lights come up and we hear that crowd
And we remember why we came
Now we got country and western on the bus
R&B, we got disco in eight tracks and cassettes in stereo
We've got rural scenes and magazines
And We've got truckers on the cb
We've got Richard Pryor on the video
We got time to think of the ones we love
While the miles roll away
But the only time that seems too short
Is the time that we get to play
People you've got the power over what we do
You can sit there and wait
Or you can pull us through
Come along, sing the song
You know you can't go wrong
'Cause when that morning sun comes beating down
You're going to wake up in your town
But we'll be scheduled to appear
A thousand miles away from here
Now the seats are all empty
Maintenant, les sièges sont tous vides
Let the roadies take the stage
Laissez les roadies monter sur scène
Pack it up and tear it down
Le ranger et le démonter
They're the first to come and last to leave
Ils sont les premiers à arriver et les derniers à partir
Working for that minimum wage
Travaillant pour ce salaire minimum
They'll set it up in another town
Ils l'installeront dans une autre ville
Tonight the people were so fine
Ce soir, les gens étaient si bien
They waited there in line
Ils ont attendu là, en ligne
And when they got up on their feet they made the show
Et quand ils se sont levés sur leurs pieds, ils ont fait le spectacle
And that was sweet,
Et c'était doux,
But I can hear the sound
Mais je peux entendre le bruit
Of slamming doors and folding chairs
Des portes qui claquent et des chaises qui se plient
And that's a sound they'll never know
Et c'est un son qu'ils ne connaîtront jamais
Now roll them cases out and lift them amps
Maintenant, sortez ces caisses et soulevez ces amplis
Haul them trusses down and ge t'em up them ramps
Descendez ces treillis et montez-les sur ces rampes
'Cause when it comes to moving me
Parce que quand il s'agit de me bouger
You know you guys are the champs
Vous savez que vous les gars êtes les champions
But when that last guitar's been packed away
Mais quand cette dernière guitare a été rangée
You know that I still want to play
Vous savez que j'ai encore envie de jouer
So just make sure you got it all set to go
Alors assurez-vous simplement que tout est prêt à partir
Before you come for my piano
Avant de venir chercher mon piano
But the band's on the bus
Mais le groupe est dans le bus
And they're waiting to go
Et ils attendent de partir

Mais le seul moment qui semble trop court
Is the time that we get to play
C'est le temps que nous avons pour jouer
People you've got the power over what we do
Les gens, vous avez le pouvoir sur ce que nous faisons
You can sit there and wait
Vous pouvez rester là et attendre
Or you can pull us through
Ou vous pouvez nous faire avancer
Come along, sing the song
Venez, chantez la chanson
You know you can't go wrong
Vous savez que vous ne pouvez pas vous tromper
'Cause when that morning sun comes beating down
Parce que quand ce soleil du matin viendra frapper
You're going to wake up in your town
Vous allez vous réveiller dans votre ville
But we'll be scheduled to appear
Mais nous serons programmés pour apparaître

E quando se levantaram, fizeram o show
And that was sweet,
E isso foi doce,
But I can hear the sound

Of slamming doors and folding chairs
De portas batendo e cadeiras dobrando
And that's a sound they'll never know
E esse é um som que eles nunca vão conhecer

And when they got up on their feet they made the show
当他们站起来时，他们成就了这场演出
And that was sweet,
那真是甜蜜，
But I can hear the sound
但我能听到声音
Of slamming doors and folding chairs
关门声和折叠椅的声音
