Odetta
Foy Vance, Roy Graham
You were always tryna fill the void, my brother
A habit so old, tryna find that something new
Never stare in the arms of a lover
Seeking darkness wherever light may shine through
Along came a morning of another
Blindsided by your sweet surprise
Odetta, don't you know
That you saved this young man's soul?
And he can watch you getting wise
And you can watch him growing old
You're always searching for destruction
Now you bare the scars of a path in which you chose
It takes a brave and a stronger kind of woman
To follow where such a broken man can go
Along came a morning of another
Blindsided by your sweet surprise
Odetta, don't you know
That you saved this young man's soul?
And he can watch you getting wise
And you can watch him growing old
You got to hold him close
Odetta, don't you ever let him go
Might be a long, wide road
Although we may need you then we need you now more than ever
Odetta, don't you know
That you saved this young man's soul?
And he can watch you getting wise
And you can watch him growing old
Odetta
You were always tryna fill the void, my brother
Tu essayais toujours de combler le vide, mon frère
A habit so old, tryna find that something new
Une habitude si ancienne, essayant de trouver quelque chose de nouveau
Never stare in the arms of a lover
Ne jamais regarder dans les bras d'un amoureux
Seeking darkness wherever light may shine through
Cherchant l'obscurité partout où la lumière peut briller
Along came a morning of another
Puis vint un matin d'un autre
Blindsided by your sweet surprise
Pris au dépourvu par ta douce surprise
Odetta, don't you know
Odetta, ne sais-tu pas
That you saved this young man's soul?
Que tu as sauvé l'âme de ce jeune homme ?
And he can watch you getting wise
Et il peut te regarder devenir sage
And you can watch him growing old
Et tu peux le regarder vieillir
You're always searching for destruction
Tu es toujours à la recherche de la destruction
Now you bare the scars of a path in which you chose
Maintenant tu portes les cicatrices du chemin que tu as choisi
It takes a brave and a stronger kind of woman
Il faut une femme plus courageuse et plus forte
To follow where such a broken man can go
Pour suivre là où un homme si brisé peut aller
Along came a morning of another
Puis vint un matin d'un autre
Blindsided by your sweet surprise
Pris au dépourvu par ta douce surprise
Odetta, don't you know
Odetta, ne sais-tu pas
That you saved this young man's soul?
Que tu as sauvé l'âme de ce jeune homme ?
And he can watch you getting wise
Et il peut te regarder devenir sage
And you can watch him growing old
Et tu peux le regarder vieillir
You got to hold him close
Tu dois le tenir près de toi
Odetta, don't you ever let him go
Odetta, ne le laisse jamais partir
Might be a long, wide road
Cela pourrait être un long et large chemin
Although we may need you then we need you now more than ever
Bien que nous ayons besoin de toi alors, nous avons besoin de toi maintenant plus que jamais
Odetta, don't you know
Odetta, ne sais-tu pas
That you saved this young man's soul?
Que tu as sauvé l'âme de ce jeune homme ?
And he can watch you getting wise
Et il peut te regarder devenir sage
And you can watch him growing old
Et tu peux le regarder vieillir
