Sweet Baby James
JAMES TAYLOR, JAMES V TAYLOR
There is a young cowboy, he lives on the range
His horse and his cattle are his only companions
He works in the saddle and sleeps in the canyons
Waiting for summer, his pastures to change
And as the moon rises he sits by his fire
Thinking about women and glasses of beer
And closing his eyes as the doggies retire
He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear
As if maybe someone could hear
Goodnight you moonlight ladies
Rockabye sweet baby James
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
Won't you let me go down in my dreams
And rockabye sweet baby James
Now the first of December was covered with snow
So was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston
The Berkshires seemed dream-like on account of that frosting
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go
There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway
A song that they sing when they take to the sea
A song that they sing of their home in the sky
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep
But singing works just fine for me
So goodnight you moonlight ladies
Rockabye sweet baby James
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
Won't you let me go down in my dreams
And rockabye sweet baby James
There is a young cowboy, he lives on the range
Es gibt einen jungen Cowboy, er lebt auf der Weide
His horse and his cattle are his only companions
Sein Pferd und sein Vieh sind seine einzigen Gefährten
He works in the saddle and sleeps in the canyons
Er arbeitet im Sattel und schläft in den Schluchten
Waiting for summer, his pastures to change
Wartet auf den Sommer, seine Weiden zu wechseln
And as the moon rises he sits by his fire
Und während der Mond aufgeht, sitzt er an seinem Feuer
Thinking about women and glasses of beer
Denkt an Frauen und Gläser Bier
And closing his eyes as the doggies retire
Und schließt seine Augen, während die Hunde sich zur Ruhe legen
He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear
Er singt ein Lied, das leise ist, aber klar
As if maybe someone could hear
Als ob vielleicht jemand hören könnte
Goodnight you moonlight ladies
Gute Nacht, ihr Mondlichtdamen
Rockabye sweet baby James
Wiegenlied süßer Baby James
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
Tiefgrün und Blau sind die Farben, die ich wähle
Won't you let me go down in my dreams
Lässt du mich nicht in meinen Träumen hinuntergehen
And rockabye sweet baby James
Und Wiegenlied süßer Baby James
Now the first of December was covered with snow
Nun war der erste Dezember mit Schnee bedeckt
So was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston
So war die Autobahn von Stockbridge nach Boston
The Berkshires seemed dream-like on account of that frosting
Die Berkshires schienen traumhaft wegen dieser Vereisung
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go
Mit zehn Meilen hinter mir und zehntausend mehr zu gehen
There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway
Es gibt ein Lied, das sie singen, wenn sie auf die Autobahn gehen
A song that they sing when they take to the sea
Ein Lied, das sie singen, wenn sie aufs Meer hinausfahren
A song that they sing of their home in the sky
Ein Lied, das sie von ihrem Zuhause im Himmel singen
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep
Vielleicht kannst du es glauben, wenn es dir hilft zu schlafen
But singing works just fine for me
Aber Singen funktioniert für mich einfach gut
So goodnight you moonlight ladies
Also gute Nacht, ihr Mondlichtdamen
Rockabye sweet baby James
Wiegenlied süßer Baby James
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
Tiefgrün und Blau sind die Farben, die ich wähle
Won't you let me go down in my dreams
Lässt du mich nicht in meinen Träumen hinuntergehen
And rockabye sweet baby James
Und Wiegenlied süßer Baby James
There is a young cowboy, he lives on the range
Há um jovem cowboy, ele vive no campo
His horse and his cattle are his only companions
Seu cavalo e seu gado são seus únicos companheiros
He works in the saddle and sleeps in the canyons
Ele trabalha na sela e dorme nos cânions
Waiting for summer, his pastures to change
Esperando pelo verão, suas pastagens mudarem
And as the moon rises he sits by his fire
E quando a lua surge, ele se senta ao lado de sua fogueira
Thinking about women and glasses of beer
Pensando em mulheres e copos de cerveja
And closing his eyes as the doggies retire
E fechando os olhos enquanto os cachorrinhos se recolhem
He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear
Ele canta uma canção que é suave, mas é clara
As if maybe someone could hear
Como se talvez alguém pudesse ouvir
Goodnight you moonlight ladies
Boa noite, senhoras ao luar
Rockabye sweet baby James
Nana nenê, doce bebê James
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
Verdes profundos e azuis são as cores que eu escolho
Won't you let me go down in my dreams
Você não me deixaria descer em meus sonhos
And rockabye sweet baby James
E nana nenê, doce bebê James
Now the first of December was covered with snow
Agora, o primeiro de dezembro estava coberto de neve
So was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston
Assim como a estrada de Stockbridge a Boston
The Berkshires seemed dream-like on account of that frosting
As Berkshires pareciam um sonho por causa daquela geada
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go
Com dez milhas atrás de mim e mais dez mil para percorrer
There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway
Há uma canção que eles cantam quando pegam a estrada
A song that they sing when they take to the sea
Uma canção que eles cantam quando vão para o mar
A song that they sing of their home in the sky
Uma canção que eles cantam de sua casa no céu
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep
Talvez você possa acreditar nisso se te ajudar a dormir
But singing works just fine for me
Mas cantar funciona muito bem para mim
So goodnight you moonlight ladies
Então, boa noite, senhoras ao luar
Rockabye sweet baby James
Nana nenê, doce bebê James
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
Verdes profundos e azuis são as cores que eu escolho
Won't you let me go down in my dreams
Você não me deixaria descer em meus sonhos
And rockabye sweet baby James
E nana nenê, doce bebê James

He works in the saddle and sleeps in the canyons
Trabaja en la silla de montar y duerme en los cañones
Waiting for summer, his pastures to change
Esperando que el verano cambie sus pastos
And as the moon rises he sits by his fire
Y cuando la luna se levanta, se sienta junto a su fuego
Thinking about women and glasses of beer
Pensando en mujeres y vasos de cerveza
And closing his eyes as the doggies retire
Y cierra los ojos mientras los perritos se retiran
He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear
Canta una canción que es suave pero clara

Como si tal vez alguien pudiera escuchar

With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go

There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway

A song that they sing of their home in the sky
Una canción que cantan de su hogar en el cielo
Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep
Quizás puedas creerlo si te ayuda a dormir

Pero cantar funciona muy bien para mí

He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear
เขาร้องเพลงที่นุ่มนวลแต่ชัดเจน
As if maybe someone could hear

เบิร์กเชียร์ดูเหมือนฝันเนื่องจากน้ำแข็งนั้น
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go
ด้วยสิบไมล์ที่อยู่เบื้องหลังฉันและสิบพันไมล์ที่ยังต้องไป
There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway
มีเพลงที่พวกเขาร้องเมื่อพวกเขาขึ้นไปทางหลวง
A song that they sing when they take to the sea
เพลงที่พวกเขาร้องเมื่อพวกเขาขึ้นไปทะเล
A song that they sing of their home in the sky
เพลงที่พวกเขาร้องเกี่ยวกับบ้านของพวกเขาในท้องฟ้า

由于那层霜，伯克希尔山脉显得如梦如幻
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go
我已经走过了十英里，还有一万英里要走
There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway
当他们上路时，他们会唱一首歌
A song that they sing when they take to the sea
当他们出海时，他们也会唱一首歌
A song that they sing of their home in the sky
他们会唱一首关于他们天空之家的歌
