Pancho and Lefty
Townes Van Zandt
Living on the road my friend
Was gonna keep you free and clean
And now you wear your skin like iron
And your breath as hard as kerosene
Weren't your mama's only boy
But her favorite one it seems
She began to cry when you said goodbye
And sank into your dreams
Pancho was a bandit boy
His horse was fast as polished steel
He wore his gun outside his pants
For all the honest world to feel
Pancho met his match you know
On the deserts down in Mexico
Nobody heard his dying words
Ah but that's the way it goes
All the Federales say
They could have had him any day
They only let him slip away
Out of kindness, I suppose
Lefty, he can't sing the blues
All night long like he used to
The dust that Pancho bit down south
Ended up in Lefty's mouth
The day they laid poor Pancho low
Lefty split for Ohio
Where he got the bread to go
There ain't nobody knows
All the Federales say
They could have had him any day
We only let him slip away
Out of kindness, I suppose
The poets tell how Pancho fell
And Lefty's living in cheap hotels
The desert's quiet, Cleveland's cold
And so the story ends we're told
Pancho needs your prayers it's true
But save a few for Lefty too
He only did what he had to do
And now he's growing old
All the Federales say
We could have had him any day
We only let him go so long
Out of kindness, I suppose
A few gray Federales say
We could have had him any day
We only let him go so long
Out of kindness, I suppose
Living on the road my friend
Vivre sur la route mon ami
Was gonna keep you free and clean
Allait te garder libre et propre
And now you wear your skin like iron
Et maintenant tu portes ta peau comme du fer
And your breath as hard as kerosene
Et ton souffle aussi dur que du kérosène
Weren't your mama's only boy
Tu n'étais pas le seul garçon de ta maman
But her favorite one it seems
Mais son préféré, il semble
She began to cry when you said goodbye
Elle a commencé à pleurer quand tu as dit au revoir
And sank into your dreams
Et a sombré dans tes rêves
Pancho was a bandit boy
Pancho était un garçon bandit
His horse was fast as polished steel
Son cheval était rapide comme de l'acier poli
He wore his gun outside his pants
Il portait son pistolet à l'extérieur de son pantalon
For all the honest world to feel
Pour que tout le monde honnête puisse le sentir
Pancho met his match you know
Pancho a rencontré son égal, tu sais
On the deserts down in Mexico
Dans les déserts du Mexique
Nobody heard his dying words
Personne n'a entendu ses derniers mots
Ah but that's the way it goes
Ah mais c'est comme ça que ça se passe
All the Federales say
Tous les Federales disent
They could have had him any day
Ils auraient pu l'avoir n'importe quel jour
They only let him slip away
Ils l'ont seulement laissé s'échapper
Out of kindness, I suppose
Par gentillesse, je suppose
Lefty, he can't sing the blues
Lefty, il ne peut pas chanter le blues
All night long like he used to
Toute la nuit comme il avait l'habitude de le faire
The dust that Pancho bit down south
La poussière que Pancho a mordue au sud
Ended up in Lefty's mouth
A fini dans la bouche de Lefty
The day they laid poor Pancho low
Le jour où ils ont mis le pauvre Pancho à terre
Lefty split for Ohio
Lefty a filé pour l'Ohio
Where he got the bread to go
Où il a eu l'argent pour partir
There ain't nobody knows
Personne ne sait
All the Federales say
Tous les Federales disent
They could have had him any day
Ils auraient pu l'avoir n'importe quel jour
We only let him slip away
On l'a seulement laissé s'échapper
Out of kindness, I suppose
Par gentillesse, je suppose
The poets tell how Pancho fell
Les poètes racontent comment Pancho est tombé
And Lefty's living in cheap hotels
Et Lefty vit dans des hôtels bon marché
The desert's quiet, Cleveland's cold
Le désert est calme, Cleveland est froid
And so the story ends we're told
Et ainsi se termine l'histoire, nous sommes dit
Pancho needs your prayers it's true
Pancho a besoin de tes prières, c'est vrai
But save a few for Lefty too
Mais garde-en quelques-unes pour Lefty aussi
He only did what he had to do
Il n'a fait que ce qu'il devait faire
And now he's growing old
Et maintenant il vieillit
All the Federales say
Tous les Federales disent
We could have had him any day
On aurait pu l'avoir n'importe quel jour

Was gonna keep you free and clean

E agora você veste sua pele como ferro
And your breath as hard as kerosene
E seu hálito é duro como querosene
Weren't your mama's only boy
Você não era o único filho da sua mãe
But her favorite one it seems
Mas parece que era o favorito
She began to cry when you said goodbye
Ela começou a chorar quando você disse adeus
And sank into your dreams
E mergulhou em seus sonhos
Pancho was a bandit boy
Pancho era um menino bandido
His horse was fast as polished steel
Seu cavalo era rápido como aço polido
He wore his gun outside his pants
Ele usava sua arma fora das calças
For all the honest world to feel
Para todo o mundo honesto sentir
Pancho met his match you know
Pancho encontrou seu par, você sabe
On the deserts down in Mexico

Por bondade, eu suponho
Lefty, he can't sing the blues
Lefty, ele não consegue cantar o blues
All night long like he used to
A noite toda como costumava fazer
The dust that Pancho bit down south

Ended up in Lefty's mouth
Acabou na boca de Lefty
The day they laid poor Pancho low
No dia em que colocaram o pobre Pancho para descansar
Lefty split for Ohio
