Angel from Montgomery
John Prine
I am an old woman named after my mother
My old man is another child that's grown old
If dreams were lightning, thunder were desire
This old house would have burnt down a long time ago
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
When I was a young girl, well, I had me a cowboy
He weren't much to look at, just a free rambling man
But that was a long time and no matter how I try
The years just flow by like a broken down dam
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear 'em there buzzing
And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
And come home in the evening and have nothing to say?
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
I am an old woman named after my mother
Je suis une vieille femme nommée d'après ma mère
My old man is another child that's grown old
Mon vieil homme est un autre enfant qui a vieilli
If dreams were lightning, thunder were desire
Si les rêves étaient des éclairs, le tonnerre serait le désir
This old house would have burnt down a long time ago
Cette vieille maison aurait brûlé il y a longtemps
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Fais de moi un ange qui vole de Montgomery
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Fais de moi une affiche d'un vieux rodéo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
Donne-moi juste une chose à laquelle je peux me raccrocher
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
Croire en cette vie est juste une façon difficile de vivre
When I was a young girl, well, I had me a cowboy
Quand j'étais une jeune fille, j'avais un cowboy
He weren't much to look at, just a free rambling man
Il n'était pas grand-chose à regarder, juste un homme libre et errant
But that was a long time and no matter how I try
Mais c'était il y a longtemps et peu importe comment j'essaie
The years just flow by like a broken down dam
Les années passent comme un barrage délabré
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Fais de moi un ange qui vole de Montgomery
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Fais de moi une affiche d'un vieux rodéo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
Donne-moi juste une chose à laquelle je peux me raccrocher
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
Croire en cette vie est juste une façon difficile de vivre
There's flies in the kitchen, I can hear 'em there buzzing
Il y a des mouches dans la cuisine, je peux les entendre bourdonner
And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today
Et je n'ai rien fait depuis que je me suis réveillée aujourd'hui
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
Comment diable une personne peut-elle aller travailler le matin
And come home in the evening and have nothing to say?
Et rentrer à la maison le soir et n'avoir rien à dire?
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Fais de moi un ange qui vole de Montgomery
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Fais de moi une affiche d'un vieux rodéo
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
Donne-moi juste une chose à laquelle je peux me raccrocher
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
Croire en cette vie est juste une façon difficile de vivre
I am an old woman named after my mother
Sou uma velha mulher nomeada após minha mãe
My old man is another child that's grown old
Meu velho é outra criança que envelheceu
If dreams were lightning, thunder were desire
Se sonhos fossem relâmpagos, trovões fossem desejo
This old house would have burnt down a long time ago
Esta velha casa teria queimado há muito tempo
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Faça-me um anjo que voa de Montgomery
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Faça-me um cartaz de um velho rodeio
Just give me one thing that I can hold on to
Apenas me dê uma coisa à qual eu possa me agarrar
To believe in this living is just a hard way to go
Acreditar nesta vida é apenas um caminho difícil de seguir
When I was a young girl, well, I had me a cowboy
Quando eu era uma jovem, bem, eu tinha um cowboy
He weren't much to look at, just a free rambling man
Ele não era muito para se olhar, apenas um homem livre e errante
But that was a long time and no matter how I try
Mas isso foi há muito tempo e não importa o quanto eu tente
The years just flow by like a broken down dam
Os anos apenas fluem como uma barragem quebrada
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Faça-me um anjo que voa de Montgomery
Make me a poster of an old rodeo
Faça-me um cartaz de um velho rodeio

Há moscas na cozinha, eu posso ouvi-las zumbindo
And I ain't done nothing since I woke up today
E eu não fiz nada desde que acordei hoje
How the hell can a person go to work in the morning
Como diabos uma pessoa pode ir trabalhar de manhã
And come home in the evening and have nothing to say?
E voltar para casa à noite e não ter nada para dizer?

Esta vieja casa se habría quemado hace mucho tiempo
Make me an angel that flies from Montgomery
Hazme un ángel que vuele desde Montgomery
