Maybe It Was Memphis
Michael Anderson
Lookin' at you through a misty moonlight
Katydid sing like a symphony
Porch swing swayin' like a Tennessee lullaby
Melody blowing through the willow tree
What was I supposed to do
Standing there lookin' at you
A lonely boy far from home
Maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was Southern summer nights
Maybe it was you, maybe it was me
But it sure felt right
Read about you in a Faulkner novel
Met you once in a Williams play
Heard about you in a country love song
Summer night beauty took my breath away
What was I supposed to do
Standing there lookin' at you
A lonely boy far from home
Maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was Southern summer nights
Maybe it was you, maybe it was me
But it sure felt right
Maybe it was Memphis (Memphis)
Maybe it was Southern summer nights (Southern summer nights)
Maybe it was you, maybe it was me
But it sure felt right
Every night now since I've been back home
Lie awake drifting in my memory
Think about you on your mama's front porch swing
Talking that way so soft to me
What was I supposed to do
Standing there lookin' at you
A lonely boy far from home
Maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was Southern summer nights
Maybe it was you, maybe it was me
But it sure felt right
Maybe it was Memphis (Memphis)
Maybe it was Southern summer nights (Southern summer nights)
Maybe it was you, maybe it was me
But it sure felt right
Maybe it was you, maybe it was me
But it sure felt right
Oh, you know it sure felt right
Oh, maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was Memphis
But it sure felt right
Lookin' at you through a misty moonlight
Te regardant à travers une lune brumeuse
Katydid sing like a symphony
Katydid chante comme une symphonie
Porch swing swayin' like a Tennessee lullaby
La balançoire du porche se balance comme une berceuse du Tennessee
Melody blowing through the willow tree
Mélodie soufflant à travers le saule
What was I supposed to do
Que devais-je faire
Standing there lookin' at you
Là, te regardant
A lonely boy far from home
Un garçon solitaire loin de chez lui
Maybe it was Memphis
Peut-être que c'était Memphis
Maybe it was Southern summer nights
Peut-être que c'étaient les nuits d'été du Sud
Maybe it was you, maybe it was me
Peut-être que c'était toi, peut-être que c'était moi
But it sure felt right
Mais ça semblait tellement juste

J'ai lu à ton sujet dans un roman de Faulkner

Every night now since I've been back home
Chaque nuit maintenant depuis que je suis rentré chez moi
Lie awake drifting in my memory
Je reste éveillé à dériver dans ma mémoire
Think about you on your mama's front porch swing
Je pense à toi sur la balançoire du porche de ta maman
Talking that way so soft to me
Parlant de cette façon si douce à moi

Lookin' at you through a misty moonlight
Olhando para você através de uma lua nebulosa
Katydid sing like a symphony
Katydid canta como uma sinfonia
Porch swing swayin' like a Tennessee lullaby
Balanço do alpendre balançando como uma canção de ninar do Tennessee
Melody blowing through the willow tree
Melodia soprando através do salgueiro
What was I supposed to do
O que eu deveria fazer
Standing there lookin' at you
Parado ali olhando para você
A lonely boy far from home
Um garoto solitário longe de casa
Maybe it was Memphis
Talvez fosse Memphis
Maybe it was Southern summer nights
Talvez fossem as noites de verão do sul
Maybe it was you, maybe it was me
Talvez fosse você, talvez fosse eu
But it sure felt right
Mas com certeza parecia certo

Every night now since I've been back home
Todas as noites agora desde que voltei para casa
Lie awake drifting in my memory
Fico acordado à deriva em minha memória
Think about you on your mama's front porch swing
Pensando em você no balanço da varanda da sua mãe
Talking that way so soft to me
Falando daquele jeito tão suave para mim
