The Ghost of Tom Joad

Bruce Springsteen

Lyrics Translation

Men walking 'long the railroad tracks
Going someplace, there's no going back
Highway patrol choppers coming up over the ridge
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
Shelter line stretching 'round the corner
Welcome to the new world order
Families sleeping in the cars in the southwest
No home, no job, no peace, no rest

Well the highway is alive tonight
But nobody's kidding nobody about where it goes
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
Searching for the ghost of Tom Joad

He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag
Preacher lights up a butt and he takes a drag
Waiting for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass
You got a one-way ticket to the promised land
You got a hole in your belly and a gun in your hand
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
Bathing in the city's aqueduct

Go!

Well the highway is alive tonight
Where it's headed everybody knows
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
Waiting on the ghost of Tom Joad

Now Tom said, "Mom, wherever there's a cop beating a guy
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
Where there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air
Look for me, Mom, I'll be there

Wherever somebody's fighting for a place to stand
Or a decent job or a helping hand
Wherever somebody's struggling to be free
Look in their eyes, Ma, and you'll see me"
Yeah!

The highway is alive tonight
Where it's headed everybody knows
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
With the ghost of old Tom Joad

Men walking 'long the railroad tracks
Homens caminhando pelos trilhos do trem
Going someplace, there's no going back
Indo para algum lugar, não há volta
Highway patrol choppers coming up over the ridge
Helicópteros da patrulha rodoviária surgindo sobre a crista
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
Sopa quente em uma fogueira sob a ponte
Shelter line stretching 'round the corner
Linha de abrigo se estendendo pela esquina
Welcome to the new world order
Bem-vindo à nova ordem mundial
Families sleeping in the cars in the southwest
Famílias dormindo nos carros no sudoeste
No home, no job, no peace, no rest
Sem casa, sem emprego, sem paz, sem descanso
Well the highway is alive tonight
Bem, a estrada está viva esta noite
But nobody's kidding nobody about where it goes
Mas ninguém está enganando ninguém sobre para onde vai
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
Estou sentado aqui à luz da fogueira
Searching for the ghost of Tom Joad
Procurando pelo fantasma de Tom Joad
He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag
Ele tira um livro de orações de seu saco de dormir
Preacher lights up a butt and he takes a drag
O pregador acende um cigarro e dá uma tragada
Waiting for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
Esperando por quando o último será o primeiro e o primeiro será o último
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass
Em uma caixa de papelão sob o viaduto
You got a one-way ticket to the promised land
Você tem uma passagem só de ida para a terra prometida
You got a hole in your belly and a gun in your hand
Você tem um buraco na barriga e uma arma na mão
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
Dormindo em um travesseiro de pedra sólida
Bathing in the city's aqueduct
Tomando banho no aqueduto da cidade
Go!
Vamos!
Well the highway is alive tonight
Bem, a estrada está viva esta noite
Where it's headed everybody knows
Para onde está indo todo mundo sabe
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
Estou sentado aqui à luz da fogueira
Waiting on the ghost of Tom Joad
Esperando pelo fantasma de Tom Joad
Now Tom said, "Mom, wherever there's a cop beating a guy
Agora Tom disse, "Mãe, onde quer que haja um policial batendo em um cara
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
Onde quer que um bebê recém-nascido faminto chore
Where there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air
Onde há uma luta contra o sangue e o ódio no ar
Look for me, Mom, I'll be there
Procure por mim, mãe, eu estarei lá
Wherever somebody's fighting for a place to stand
Onde quer que alguém esteja lutando por um lugar para ficar
Or a decent job or a helping hand
Ou um emprego decente ou uma mão amiga
Wherever somebody's struggling to be free
Onde quer que alguém esteja lutando para ser livre
Look in their eyes, Ma, and you'll see me"
Olhe nos olhos deles, mãe, e você me verá"
Yeah!
Sim!
The highway is alive tonight
A estrada está viva esta noite
Where it's headed everybody knows
Para onde está indo todo mundo sabe
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
Estou sentado aqui à luz da fogueira
With the ghost of old Tom Joad
Com o fantasma do velho Tom Joad
Men walking 'long the railroad tracks
Hombres caminando por las vías del tren
Going someplace, there's no going back
Yendo a algún lugar, no hay vuelta atrás
Highway patrol choppers coming up over the ridge
Helicópteros de la patrulla de carreteras subiendo por la colina
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
Sopa caliente en una fogata bajo el puente
Shelter line stretching 'round the corner
La línea del refugio se extiende a la vuelta de la esquina
Welcome to the new world order
Bienvenidos al nuevo orden mundial
Families sleeping in the cars in the southwest
Familias durmiendo en los coches en el suroeste
No home, no job, no peace, no rest
Sin hogar, sin trabajo, sin paz, sin descanso
Well the highway is alive tonight
Bueno, la carretera está viva esta noche
But nobody's kidding nobody about where it goes
Pero nadie está engañando a nadie sobre a dónde va
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
Estoy sentado aquí, a la luz de la fogata
Searching for the ghost of Tom Joad
Buscando el fantasma de Tom Joad
He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag
Saca un libro de oraciones de su saco de dormir
Preacher lights up a butt and he takes a drag
El predicador enciende un cigarrillo y da una calada
Waiting for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
Esperando a que el último sea el primero y el primero sea el último
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass
En una caja de cartón debajo del paso elevado
You got a one-way ticket to the promised land
Tienes un billete de ida a la tierra prometida
You got a hole in your belly and a gun in your hand
Tienes un agujero en el estómago y una pistola en la mano
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
Durmiendo en una almohada de roca sólida
Bathing in the city's aqueduct
Bañándose en el acueducto de la ciudad
Go!
¡Vamos!
Well the highway is alive tonight
Bueno, la carretera está viva esta noche
Where it's headed everybody knows
A dónde se dirige, todos lo saben
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
Estoy sentado aquí, a la luz de la fogata
Waiting on the ghost of Tom Joad
Esperando al fantasma de Tom Joad
Now Tom said, "Mom, wherever there's a cop beating a guy
Ahora Tom dijo: "Mamá, dondequiera que haya un policía golpeando a un chico
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
Dondequiera que un recién nacido hambriento llore
Where there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air
Donde haya una lucha contra la sangre y el odio en el aire
Look for me, Mom, I'll be there
Búscame, mamá, estaré allí
Wherever somebody's fighting for a place to stand
Dondequiera que alguien esté luchando por un lugar para estar
Or a decent job or a helping hand
O un trabajo decente o una mano amiga
Wherever somebody's struggling to be free
Dondequiera que alguien esté luchando por ser libre
Look in their eyes, Ma, and you'll see me"
Mira en sus ojos, mamá, y me verás"
Yeah!
¡Sí!
The highway is alive tonight
La carretera está viva esta noche
Where it's headed everybody knows
A dónde se dirige, todos lo saben
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
Estoy sentado aquí, a la luz de la fogata
With the ghost of old Tom Joad
Con el fantasma del viejo Tom Joad
Men walking 'long the railroad tracks
Des hommes marchant le long des voies ferrées
Going someplace, there's no going back
Allant quelque part, il n'y a pas de retour
Highway patrol choppers coming up over the ridge
Les hélicoptères de la patrouille routière arrivent par la crête
Hot soup on a campfire under the bridge
De la soupe chaude sur un feu de camp sous le pont
Shelter line stretching 'round the corner
La file d'attente pour l'abri s'étend au coin de la rue
Welcome to the new world order
Bienvenue dans le nouvel ordre mondial
Families sleeping in the cars in the southwest
Des familles dorment dans leurs voitures dans le sud-ouest
No home, no job, no peace, no rest
Pas de maison, pas de travail, pas de paix, pas de repos
Well the highway is alive tonight
Eh bien, l'autoroute est vivante ce soir
But nobody's kidding nobody about where it goes
Mais personne ne trompe personne sur où elle mène
I'm sitting down here in the campfire light
Je suis assis ici dans la lumière du feu de camp
Searching for the ghost of Tom Joad
À la recherche du fantôme de Tom Joad
He pulls a prayer book out of his sleeping bag
Il sort un livre de prières de son sac de couchage
Preacher lights up a butt and he takes a drag
Le prédicateur allume une cigarette et tire une bouffée
Waiting for when the last shall be first and the first shall be last
En attendant que le dernier soit le premier et que le premier soit le dernier
In a cardboard box 'neath the underpass
Dans une boîte en carton sous le passage inférieur
You got a one-way ticket to the promised land
Tu as un billet aller simple pour la terre promise
You got a hole in your belly and a gun in your hand
Tu as un trou dans le ventre et un pistolet à la main
Sleeping on a pillow of solid rock
Dormir sur un oreiller de roche solide
Bathing in the city's aqueduct
Se baigner dans l'aqueduc de la ville
Go!
Allez!
Well the highway is alive tonight
Eh bien, l'autoroute est vivante ce soir
Where it's headed everybody knows
Tout le monde sait où elle mène

Now Tom said, "Mom, wherever there's a cop beating a guy
Maintenant Tom a dit, "Maman, partout où il y a un flic qui bat un gars
Wherever a hungry newborn baby cries
Partout où un nouveau-né affamé pleure
Where there's a fight against the blood and hatred in the air
Là où il y a un combat contre le sang et la haine dans l'air
Look for me, Mom, I'll be there
Cherche-moi, Maman, je serai là
Wherever somebody's fighting for a place to stand
Partout où quelqu'un se bat pour avoir une place
Or a decent job or a helping hand
Ou un travail décent ou une main tendue
Wherever somebody's struggling to be free
Partout où quelqu'un lutte pour être libre
Look in their eyes, Ma, and you'll see me"
Regarde dans leurs yeux, Maman, et tu me verras"
