My Old Man

Joni Mitchell

Lyrics Translation

My old man, he's a singer in the park
He's a walker in the rain
He's a dancer in the dark
We don't need no piece of paper from the city hall
Keeping us tied and true no, my old man
Keeping away my blues

He's my sunshine in the morning
He's my fireworks at the end of the day
He's the warmest chord I ever heard
Play that warm chord, play and stay, baby
We don't need no piece of paper from the city hall
Keeping us tied and true, my old man
Keeping away my blues

But when he's gone
Me and them lonesome blues collide
The bed's too big
The frying pan's too wide

Then he comes home
And he takes me in his loving arms
And he tells me all his troubles
And he tells me all my charms
We don't need no piece of paper from the city hall
Keeping us tied and true, no, my old man
Keeping away my blues

But when he's gone
Me and them lonesome blues collide
The bed's too big
The frying pan's too wide

My old man, he's a singer in the park
He's a walker in the rain
He's a dancer in the dark
We don't need no piece of paper from the city hall
Keeping us tied and true, no, my old man
Keeping away my lonesome blues

My old man, he's a singer in the park
Meu velho, ele é um cantor no parque
He's a walker in the rain
Ele é um caminhante na chuva
He's a dancer in the dark
Ele é um dançarino no escuro
We don't need no piece of paper from the city hall
Não precisamos de nenhum pedaço de papel da prefeitura
Keeping us tied and true no, my old man
Nos mantendo unidos e verdadeiros, não, meu velho
Keeping away my blues
Mantendo longe meus blues
He's my sunshine in the morning
Ele é meu sol pela manhã
He's my fireworks at the end of the day
Ele é meus fogos de artifício no final do dia
He's the warmest chord I ever heard
Ele é o acorde mais quente que já ouvi
Play that warm chord, play and stay, baby
Toque esse acorde quente, toque e fique, querido
We don't need no piece of paper from the city hall
Não precisamos de nenhum pedaço de papel da prefeitura
Keeping us tied and true, my old man
Nos mantendo unidos e verdadeiros, meu velho
Keeping away my blues
Mantendo longe meus blues
But when he's gone
Mas quando ele se vai
Me and them lonesome blues collide
Eu e esses blues solitários colidimos
The bed's too big
A cama é muito grande
The frying pan's too wide
A frigideira é muito larga
Then he comes home
Então ele volta para casa
And he takes me in his loving arms
E ele me pega em seus braços amorosos
And he tells me all his troubles
E ele me conta todos os seus problemas
And he tells me all my charms
E ele me conta todos os meus encantos
We don't need no piece of paper from the city hall
Não precisamos de nenhum pedaço de papel da prefeitura
Keeping us tied and true, no, my old man
Nos mantendo unidos e verdadeiros, não, meu velho
Keeping away my blues
Mantendo longe meus blues
But when he's gone
Mas quando ele se vai
Me and them lonesome blues collide
Eu e esses blues solitários colidimos
The bed's too big
A cama é muito grande
The frying pan's too wide
A frigideira é muito larga
My old man, he's a singer in the park
Meu velho, ele é um cantor no parque
He's a walker in the rain
Ele é um caminhante na chuva
He's a dancer in the dark
Ele é um dançarino no escuro
We don't need no piece of paper from the city hall
Não precisamos de nenhum pedaço de papel da prefeitura
Keeping us tied and true, no, my old man
Nos mantendo unidos e verdadeiros, não, meu velho
Keeping away my lonesome blues
Mantendo longe meus blues solitários
My old man, he's a singer in the park
Mi viejo, él es un cantante en el parque
He's a walker in the rain
Es un caminante bajo la lluvia
He's a dancer in the dark
Es un bailarín en la oscuridad
We don't need no piece of paper from the city hall
No necesitamos ningún papel del ayuntamiento
Keeping us tied and true no, my old man
Manteniéndonos unidos y fieles, no, mi viejo
Keeping away my blues
Alejando mis penas
He's my sunshine in the morning
Él es mi sol en la mañana
He's my fireworks at the end of the day
Es mi fuegos artificiales al final del día
He's the warmest chord I ever heard
Es el acorde más cálido que jamás escuché
Play that warm chord, play and stay, baby
Toca ese acorde cálido, toca y quédate, cariño
We don't need no piece of paper from the city hall
No necesitamos ningún papel del ayuntamiento
Keeping us tied and true, my old man

Pero cuando él se va
Me and them lonesome blues collide
Yo y esas penas solitarias chocamos
The bed's too big
La cama es demasiado grande
The frying pan's too wide
La sartén es demasiado ancha
Then he comes home
Luego él vuelve a casa
And he takes me in his loving arms
Y me toma en sus amorosos brazos
And he tells me all his troubles
Y me cuenta todos sus problemas
And he tells me all my charms
Y me cuenta todos mis encantos
