How Long Blues

LEROY AUTHUR CARR

Lyrics Translation

How long, baby, how long
Has that evening train been gone?
Baby how long, yes how long?
How long?

I went to the station
To watch my babe leave town
Feeling low and disgusted
For my baby couldn't be found

How long? How long, how long?

If I could holler
Like a mountain jack
I'd climb the highest mountain
To call my baby back
Oh, how long? Yes, how long, how long?

I hear the lords of wheels and poet
But I see no train
My heart is aching and breaking and I want it bad
But how long, yes how long, babe, how long?

How long, baby, how long
Quanto tempo, querida, quanto tempo
Has that evening train been gone?
Faz que aquele trem noturno se foi?
Baby how long, yes how long?
Querida, quanto tempo, hein, quanto tempo?
How long?
Quanto tempo?
I went to the station
Fui à estação
To watch my babe leave town
Para ver minha bebê partir
Feeling low and disgusted
Estou me sentindo triste e desgostoso
For my baby couldn't be found
Pois não encontrei meu amor
How long? How long, how long?
Quanto tempo? Quanto tempo, quanto tempo?
If I could holler
Se eu pudesse gritar
Like a mountain jack
Como um macaco da montanha
I'd climb the highest mountain
Eu escalaria a montanha mais alta
To call my baby back
Para chamar minha bebê de volta
Oh, how long? Yes, how long, how long?
Querida, quanto tempo, hein, quanto tempo?
I hear the lords of wheels and poet
Ouço os senhores das rodas e do poeta
But I see no train
Mas não vejo nenhum trem
My heart is aching and breaking and I want it bad
Meu coração está doendo e quebrando e eu quero muito
But how long, yes how long, babe, how long?
Mas quanto tempo, hein, quanto tempo, querida, quanto tempo?
