Worried Man Blues
Woody Guthrie| Originale | Versió catalana de Toni Giménez |
| WORRIED MAN BLUES I went across the river, and I lay down to sleep, I went across the river, and I lay down to sleep, I went across the river, and I lay down to sleep, When I woke up with the chain on my feet. It takes a worried man to sing a worried song, It takes a worried man to sing a worried song, I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long. Chain around my legs, twenty-nine links of chain Chain around my legs, twenty-nine links of chain Chain around my legs, twenty-nine links of chain And on each link is initial of my name. It takes a worried man to sing a worried song, It takes a worried man to sing a worried song, I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long. I asked the judge what might be my fine, I asked the judge what might be my fine, I asked the judge what might be my fine, "Twenty-one years on the Rocky Mountain line." It takes a worried man to sing a worried song, It takes a worried man to sing a worried song, I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long. The train arrived to the station, twenty-one coaches long, The train arrived to the station, twenty-one coaches long, The train arrived to the station, twenty-one coaches long, The girl I love is on that train and gone. It takes a worried man to sing a worried song, It takes a worried man to sing a worried song, I'm worried now, but I won't be worried long. If any one asks you who composed this song, If any one asks you who composed this song, If any one asks you who composed this song, Tell him it was I and I sing it all day long… | BLUES DE L'HOME ANGOIXAT Canto un cant angoixat, jo, home ple de neguit Canto un cant angoixat, jo, home ple de neguit Canto un cant angoixat, jo, home ple de neguit estic desfet, però molt no durarà. Vaig anar-me'n vora el riu i allà em vaig endormiscar Vaig anar-me'n vora el riu i allà em vaig endormiscar Vaig anar-me'n vora el riu i allà em vaig endormiscar em vaig despertar lligat de peus i mans. Vint-i-una anelles envoltaven els meus peus Vint-i-una anelles envoltaven els meus peus Vint-i-una anelles envoltaven els meus peus amb cada una de les meves inicials. Pregunto al jutge que em digui el que he de pagar Pregunto al jutge que em digui el que he de pagar Pregunto al jutge que em digui el que he de pagar vint-i-un anys a la via a treballar! Arriba el tren que porta setze llargs vagons Arriba el tren que porta setze llargs vagons Arriba el tren que porta setze llargs vagons la noia que estimo és a dalt i passa de llarg. Vaig llançar els meus ulls tan lluny com vaig poder Vaig llançar els meus ulls tan lluny com vaig poder Vaig llançar els meus ulls tan lluny com vaig poder una petita mà, bellugant-se, em va dir adéu Si algú us preguntés qui va fer aquesta cançó Si algú us preguntés qui va fer aquesta cançó Si algú us preguntés qui va fer aquesta cançó he estat jo i la canto dia i nit |
