The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
Robbie Robertson
Virgil Caine is the name
And I served on the Danville train
'Til Stoneman's cavalry came
And tore up the tracks again
In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive
By May the tenth, Richmond had fell
It's a time I remember, oh so well
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the people were singing
They went, "Na, la-la-la, na-na
La-la, na-na, la-la-la-la-la"
Back with my wife in Tennessee
When one day she called to me
"Virgil, quick, come see
There goes Robert E. Lee"
Now I don't mind choppin' wood
And I don't care if the money's no good
You take what you need and you leave the rest
But they should never have taken the very best
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singing
They went, "Na, la-la-la, na-na
La-la, na-na, la-la-la-la-la"
Like my father before me
I will work the land
And like my brother above me
Who took a rebel stand
He was just eighteen, proud and brave
But a Yankee laid him in his grave
I swear by the mud below my feet
You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the people were singing
They went, "Na, la-la-la, na-na
La-la, na-na, la-la-la-la-la"
The night they drove old Dixie down
And all the bells were ringing
The night they drove old Dixie down
And the people were singing
They went, "Na, la-la-la, na-na
La-la, na-na, la-la-la-la-la"
Virgil Caine is the name

And I served on the Danville train

'Til Stoneman's cavalry came
Bis Stonemans Kavallerie kam
And tore up the tracks again
Und die Gleise wieder zerstörte
In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive
Im Winter '65 waren wir hungrig, gerade noch am Leben
By May the tenth, Richmond had fell
Am zehnten Mai war Richmond gefallen
It's a time I remember, oh so well
Ich erinnere mich gut an diese Zeit
The night they drove old Dixie down
Die Nacht, in der sie den alten Dixie hinunterfuhren
And the bells were ringing
Und die Glocken läuteten
The night they drove old Dixie down
Die Nacht, in der sie den alten Dixie hinunterfuhren
And the people were singing
Und die Leute sangen
They went, "Na, la-la-la, na-na
Sie gingen, „Na, la-la-la, na-na
La-la, na-na, la-la-la-la-la"
La-la, na-na, la-la-la-la-la“
Back with my wife in Tennessee
Zurück bei meiner Frau in Tennessee
When one day she called to me
Als sie eines Tages zu mir rief
"Virgil, quick, come see
Virgil, schnell, sieh nach
There goes Robert E. Lee"
Da ist Robert E. Lee
Now I don't mind choppin' wood
Jetzt macht es mir nichts mehr aus, Holz zu hacken
And I don't care if the money's no good
Und es ist mir egal, ob das Geld nichts wert ist
You take what you need and you leave the rest
Du nimmst, was du brauchst, und lässt den Rest liegen
But they should never have taken the very best
Aber sie hätten nie das Beste nehmen sollen
The night they drove old Dixie down
Die Nacht, in der sie den alten Dixie hinunterfuhren
And the bells were ringing
Und die Glocken läuteten
The night they drove old Dixie down
Die Nacht, in der sie den alten Dixie hinunterfuhren
And all the people were singing
Und alle Leute sangen
They went, "Na, la-la-la, na-na
Sie gingen, „Na, la-la-la, na-na
La-la, na-na, la-la-la-la-la"
La-la, na-na, la-la-la-la-la“
Like my father before me
Wie mein Vater vor mir
I will work the land
Werde ich das Land bearbeiten
And like my brother above me
Und wie mein Bruder über mir
Who took a rebel stand
Der einen rebellischen Standpunkt einnahm
He was just eighteen, proud and brave
Er war erst achtzehn, stolz und tapfer
But a Yankee laid him in his grave
Doch ein Yankee legte ihn ins Grab
I swear by the mud below my feet
Ich schwöre bei dem Schlamm unter meinen Füßen
You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat
Man kann einen Caine nicht wieder aufrichten, wenn er besiegt ist
The night they drove old Dixie down
Die Nacht, in der sie den alten Dixie hinunterfuhren
And the bells were ringing
Und die Glocken läuteten
The night they drove old Dixie down
Die Nacht, in der sie den alten Dixie hinunterfuhren

And like my brother above me
E como meu irmão acima de mim
Who took a rebel stand
Quem tomou uma posição rebelde
He was just eighteen, proud and brave
Ele tinha apenas dezoito anos, orgulhoso e corajoso
But a Yankee laid him in his grave
Mas um Yankee o colocou em seu túmulo
I swear by the mud below my feet
Eu juro pela lama abaixo dos meus pés
You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat
Você não pode levantar um Caine de volta quando ele está derrotado
