Carolina Drama
BRENDAN BENSON, JACK WHITE
I'm not sure if there's a point to this story
But I'm going to tell it again
So many other people try to tell the tale
Not one of them knows the end
It was a junk-house in South Carolina
Held a boy the age of ten
Along with his older brother Billy
And a mother and her boyfriend
Who was a triple loser with some blue tattoos
That were given to him when he was young
And a drunk temper that was easy to lose
And thank god he didn't own a gun
Well, Billy woke up in the back of his truck
Took a minute to open his eyes
He took a peep into the back of the house
And found himself a big surprise
He didn't see his brother but there was his mother
With her red-headed head in her hands
While the boyfriend had his gloves wrapped around an old priest
Trying to choke the man
Ah Ah Ah
Billy looked up from the window to the truck
Threw up, and had to struggle to stand
He saw that red-necked bastard with a hammer
Turn the priest into a shell of a man
That priest was putting up the fight of his life
But he was old and he was bound to lose
The boyfriend hit as hard as he could
And knocked the priest right down to his shoes
Well, now Billy knew but never actually met
The preacher lying there in the room
He heard himself say, "That must be my daddy"
Then he knew what he was gonna do
Billy got up enough courage, took it up
And grabbed the first blunt thing he could find
It was a cold, glass bottle of milk
That got delivered every morning at nine
Ah Ah Ah
Billy broke in and saw the blood on the floor, and
He turned around and put the lock on the door
He looked dead into the boyfriend's eye
His mother was a ghost, too upset to cry, then
He took a step toward the man on the ground
From his mouth trickled out a little audible sound
He heard the boyfriend shout, "Get out!"
And Billy said, "Not till I know what this is all about"
"Well, this preacher here was attacking your mama"
But Billy knew just who was starting the drama
So Billy took dead aim at his face
And smashed the bottle on the man who left his dad in disgrace, and
The white milk dripped down with the blood, and the
Boyfriend fell down dead for good
Right next to the preacher who was gasping for air
And Billy shouted, "Daddy, why'd you have to come back here?"
His mama reached behind the sugar and honey, and
Pulled out an envelope filled with money
"Your daddy gave us this," she collapsed in tears
"He's been paying all the bills for years"
"Mama, let's put this body underneath the trees
And put Daddy in the truck and head to Tennessee"
Just then, his little brother came in
Holding the milk man's hat and a bottle of gin singing
La la la la, la la la la, yeah
La la la la, la la la la, yeah
La la la la, la la la la, yeah
La la la, la la la
La la la la, la la la la, yeah

La la la la, la la la la, yeah
Well now you heard another side to the story

If you must know, the truth about the tale
Go and ask the milkman
I'm not sure if there's a point to this story
Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob es einen Sinn in dieser Geschichte gibt
But I'm going to tell it again
Aber ich werde sie noch einmal erzählen

The boyfriend hit as hard as he could
Der Freund schlug so hart er konnte
And knocked the priest right down to his shoes
Und schlug den Priester direkt auf seine Schuhe
Well, now Billy knew but never actually met
Nun, jetzt wusste Billy, aber hatte nie tatsächlich getroffen
The preacher lying there in the room
Den Prediger, der dort im Raum lag
He heard himself say, "That must be my daddy"
Er hörte sich selbst sagen: „Das muss mein Vater sein“
Then he knew what he was gonna do
Dann wusste er, was er tun würde
Billy got up enough courage, took it up
Billy fasste genug Mut, nahm es auf
And grabbed the first blunt thing he could find
Und griff das erste stumpfe Ding, das er finden konnte
It was a cold, glass bottle of milk
Es war eine kalte, gläserne Flasche Milch
That got delivered every morning at nine

Seine Mutter war ein Geist, zu aufgeregt zum Weinen, dann

Aus seinem Mund tropfte ein kleiner hörbarer Ton
He heard the boyfriend shout, "Get out!"
Er hörte den Freund rufen: „Raus!“
And Billy said, "Not till I know what this is all about"
Und Billy sagte: „Nicht, bis ich weiß, worum es hier geht“
"Well, this preacher here was attacking your mama"
„Nun, dieser Prediger hier hat deine Mama angegriffen“
But Billy knew just who was starting the drama
Aber Billy wusste genau, wer das Drama begonnen hatte
So Billy took dead aim at his face
Also nahm Billy gezielt auf sein Gesicht

Und zerschlug die Flasche auf dem Mann, der seinen Vater in Schande gelassen hatte, und
The white milk dripped down with the blood, and the

Right next to the preacher who was gasping for air

His mama reached behind the sugar and honey, and
Seine Mama griff hinter den Zucker und Honig, und

But you wanna know how it ends?
Mais vous voulez savoir comment ça se termine ?
If you must know, the truth about the tale
Si vous devez savoir, la vérité sur le conte
Go and ask the milkman

I'm not sure if there's a point to this story
Non sono sicuro se c'è un punto in questa storia
But I'm going to tell it again
Ma la racconterò di nuovo
So many other people try to tell the tale
Tante altre persone cercano di raccontare il racconto
Not one of them knows the end
Nessuno di loro conosce la fine
It was a junk-house in South Carolina
Era una casa di rottami in South Carolina
Held a boy the age of ten
Ospitava un ragazzo di dieci anni
Along with his older brother Billy
Insieme al suo fratello maggiore Billy
And a mother and her boyfriend
E una madre e il suo fidanzato
Who was a triple loser with some blue tattoos
Che era un triplo perdente con alcuni tatuaggi blu
That were given to him when he was young
Che gli erano stati dati quando era giovane
And a drunk temper that was easy to lose
E un temperamento ubriaco che era facile da perdere
And thank god he didn't own a gun
E grazie a Dio non possedeva una pistola
Well, Billy woke up in the back of his truck
Beh, Billy si svegliò nel retro del suo camion
Took a minute to open his eyes
Ci mise un minuto ad aprire gli occhi
He took a peep into the back of the house
Diede un'occhiata nel retro della casa
And found himself a big surprise
E si trovò una grande sorpresa
He didn't see his brother but there was his mother
Non vide suo fratello ma c'era sua madre
With her red-headed head in her hands
Con la sua testa rossa tra le mani
While the boyfriend had his gloves wrapped around an old priest
Mentre il fidanzato aveva i suoi guanti avvolti attorno a un vecchio prete
Trying to choke the man
Cercando di soffocare l'uomo
Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah
Billy looked up from the window to the truck
Billy guardò su dalla finestra del camion
Threw up, and had to struggle to stand
Vomitò, e dovette lottare per stare in piedi
He saw that red-necked bastard with a hammer
Vide quel bastardo collo rosso con un martello
Turn the priest into a shell of a man
Trasformare il prete in un guscio d'uomo
That priest was putting up the fight of his life
Quel prete stava dando la lotta della sua vita
But he was old and he was bound to lose
Ma era vecchio e era destinato a perdere
The boyfriend hit as hard as he could
Il fidanzato colpì più forte che poteva
And knocked the priest right down to his shoes
E abbatté il prete fino alle sue scarpe
Well, now Billy knew but never actually met
Beh, ora Billy sapeva ma non aveva mai effettivamente incontrato
The preacher lying there in the room
Il predicatore che giaceva lì nella stanza
He heard himself say, "That must be my daddy"
Si sentì dire, "Quello deve essere mio papà"
Then he knew what he was gonna do
Poi sapeva cosa stava per fare
Billy got up enough courage, took it up
Billy prese abbastanza coraggio, lo prese
And grabbed the first blunt thing he could find
E afferrò la prima cosa smussata che poté trovare
It was a cold, glass bottle of milk
Era una fredda bottiglia di vetro di latte
That got delivered every morning at nine
Che veniva consegnata ogni mattina alle nove
Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah
Billy broke in and saw the blood on the floor, and
Billy entrò e vide il sangue sul pavimento, e
He turned around and put the lock on the door
Si girò e mise il lucchetto alla porta
He looked dead into the boyfriend's eye
Guardò dritto negli occhi del fidanzato
His mother was a ghost, too upset to cry, then
Sua madre era un fantasma, troppo sconvolta per piangere, poi
He took a step toward the man on the ground
Fece un passo verso l'uomo a terra
From his mouth trickled out a little audible sound
Dalla sua bocca sgorgò un piccolo suono udibile
He heard the boyfriend shout, "Get out!"
Sentì il fidanzato gridare, "Vattene!"
And Billy said, "Not till I know what this is all about"
E Billy disse, "Non finché non so di cosa si tratta"
"Well, this preacher here was attacking your mama"
"Bene, questo predicatore qui stava attaccando tua mamma"
But Billy knew just who was starting the drama
Ma Billy sapeva proprio chi stava iniziando il dramma
So Billy took dead aim at his face
Così Billy prese la mira al suo volto
And smashed the bottle on the man who left his dad in disgrace, and
E fracassò la bottiglia sull'uomo che aveva lasciato suo padre in disgrazia, e
The white milk dripped down with the blood, and the
Il latte bianco gocciolava giù con il sangue, e il
Boyfriend fell down dead for good
Fidanzato cadde morto per sempre
Right next to the preacher who was gasping for air
Proprio accanto al predicatore che stava ansimando per aria
And Billy shouted, "Daddy, why'd you have to come back here?"
E Billy gridò, "Papà, perché hai dovuto tornare qui?"
His mama reached behind the sugar and honey, and
Sua mamma raggiunse dietro lo zucchero e il miele, e
Pulled out an envelope filled with money
Tirò fuori una busta piena di soldi
"Your daddy gave us this," she collapsed in tears
"Tuo padre ci ha dato questo", crollò in lacrime
"He's been paying all the bills for years"
"Ha pagato tutte le bollette per anni"
"Mama, let's put this body underneath the trees
"Mamma, mettiamo questo corpo sotto gli alberi
And put Daddy in the truck and head to Tennessee"
E mettiamo papà nel camion e andiamo in Tennessee"
Just then, his little brother came in
Proprio allora, suo fratello minore entrò
Holding the milk man's hat and a bottle of gin singing
Tenendo il cappello del lattaio e una bottiglia di gin cantando
La la la la, la la la la, yeah
La la la la, la la la la, yeah
La la la la, la la la la, yeah
La la la la, la la la la, yeah
La la la la, la la la la, yeah
La la la la, la la la la, yeah

Dan temperamen mabuk yang mudah hilang
And thank god he didn't own a gun
Dan syukurlah dia tidak memiliki senjata
Well, Billy woke up in the back of his truck
Nah, Billy bangun di belakang truknya
Took a minute to open his eyes
Membutuhkan waktu sebentar untuk membuka matanya
He took a peep into the back of the house
Dia mengintip ke belakang rumah
And found himself a big surprise
Dan menemukan dirinya sebuah kejutan besar
He didn't see his brother but there was his mother
Dia tidak melihat adiknya tetapi ada ibunya
With her red-headed head in her hands
Dengan kepala merahnya di tangannya
While the boyfriend had his gloves wrapped around an old priest
Sementara pacarnya memiliki sarung tangan terbalut seorang imam tua
Trying to choke the man
Mencoba mencekik pria itu
Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah
Billy looked up from the window to the truck
Billy melihat ke atas dari jendela ke truk
Threw up, and had to struggle to stand
Muntah, dan harus berjuang untuk berdiri
He saw that red-necked bastard with a hammer
Dia melihat bajingan berleher merah dengan palu
Turn the priest into a shell of a man
Mengubah imam menjadi cangkang seorang pria
That priest was putting up the fight of his life
Imam itu sedang berjuang sekuat tenaga
But he was old and he was bound to lose
Tapi dia sudah tua dan dia pasti akan kalah
The boyfriend hit as hard as he could
Pacarnya memukul sekeras yang dia bisa
And knocked the priest right down to his shoes
Dan mengetuk imam itu sampai ke sepatunya
Well, now Billy knew but never actually met
Nah, sekarang Billy tahu tetapi tidak pernah benar-benar bertemu
The preacher lying there in the room
Pendeta yang berbaring di ruangan itu
He heard himself say, "That must be my daddy"
Dia mendengar dirinya berkata, "Itu pasti ayahku"
Then he knew what he was gonna do
Lalu dia tahu apa yang akan dia lakukan
Billy got up enough courage, took it up
Billy mengumpulkan cukup keberanian, mengambilnya
And grabbed the first blunt thing he could find
Dan meraih benda tumpul pertama yang bisa dia temukan
It was a cold, glass bottle of milk
Itu adalah botol susu kaca dingin
That got delivered every morning at nine
Yang dikirim setiap pagi jam sembilan
Ah Ah Ah
Ah Ah Ah
Billy broke in and saw the blood on the floor, and
Billy masuk dan melihat darah di lantai, dan
He turned around and put the lock on the door
Dia berbalik dan mengunci pintu
He looked dead into the boyfriend's eye
Dia menatap mati ke mata pacar ibunya
His mother was a ghost, too upset to cry, then
Ibunya adalah hantu, terlalu sedih untuk menangis, lalu
He took a step toward the man on the ground
Dia mengambil langkah menuju pria di tanah
From his mouth trickled out a little audible sound
Dari mulutnya menetes sedikit suara yang terdengar
He heard the boyfriend shout, "Get out!"
Dia mendengar pacarnya berteriak, "Keluar!"
And Billy said, "Not till I know what this is all about"
Dan Billy berkata, "Tidak sampai saya tahu apa ini semua tentang"
"Well, this preacher here was attacking your mama"
"Nah, pendeta ini diserang oleh ibumu"
But Billy knew just who was starting the drama
Tapi Billy tahu siapa yang memulai dramanya
So Billy took dead aim at his face
Jadi Billy mengambil tujuan mati di wajahnya
And smashed the bottle on the man who left his dad in disgrace, and
Dan memecahkan botol di wajah pria yang meninggalkan ayahnya dalam aib, dan
The white milk dripped down with the blood, and the
Susu putih menetes bersama dengan darah, dan
Boyfriend fell down dead for good
Pacar jatuh mati untuk selamanya
Right next to the preacher who was gasping for air
Tepat di samping pendeta yang sedang berjuang untuk bernapas
And Billy shouted, "Daddy, why'd you have to come back here?"
Dan Billy berteriak, "Ayah, kenapa kamu harus kembali ke sini?"
His mama reached behind the sugar and honey, and
Ibunya meraih di belakang gula dan madu, dan
Pulled out an envelope filled with money
Mengeluarkan amplop berisi uang
"Your daddy gave us this," she collapsed in tears
"Ayahmu memberi kita ini," dia jatuh dalam air mata
"He's been paying all the bills for years"
"Dia telah membayar semua tagihan selama bertahun-tahun"
"Mama, let's put this body underneath the trees
"Mama, mari kita letakkan tubuh ini di bawah pohon
And put Daddy in the truck and head to Tennessee"
Dan letakkan Ayah di truk dan menuju ke Tennessee"
Just then, his little brother came in
Tepat saat itu, adiknya masuk
Holding the milk man's hat and a bottle of gin singing
Membawa topi pria susu dan botol gin bernyanyi
