The Weight

Robbie Robertson

Lyrics Translation

I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' 'bout half past dead
I just need some place where I can lay my head
Hey, Mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?
He just grinned and shook my hand, "No," was all he said

Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And (and, and) you put the load right on me (you put the load right on me)

I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on let's go downtown"
She said, "I gotta go, but my friend can stick around"

Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And (and, and) you put the load right on me (you put the load right on me)

Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
It's just ol' Luke and Luke's waitin' on the Judgment Day
Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?
He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't you stay and keep Anna Lee company?"

Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And (and, and) you put the load right on me (you put the load right on me)

Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
He said, "I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack, my dog"
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man"
He said, that's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can?

Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And (and, and) you put the load right on me (you put the load right on me)

Catch a cannon ball now to take me down the line
My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here with her, regards for everyone

Take a load off, Fanny
Take a load for free
Take a load off, Fanny
And (and, and) you put the load right on me (you put the load right on me)

I pulled into Nazareth, was feelin' 'bout half past dead
Cheguei em Nazaré, estava me sentindo quase morto
I just need some place where I can lay my head
Eu só preciso de algum lugar onde eu possa descansar minha cabeça
Hey, Mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?
Ei, senhor, pode me dizer onde um homem pode encontrar uma cama?
He just grinned and shook my hand, "No," was all he said
Ele apenas sorriu e apertou minha mão, "Não", foi tudo o que ele disse
Take a load off, Fanny
Alivie o peso, Fanny
Take a load for free
Alivie o peso de graça
Take a load off, Fanny
Alivie o peso, Fanny
And (and, and) you put the load right on me (you put the load right on me)
E (e, e) você coloca o peso bem em mim (você coloca o peso bem em mim)
I picked up my bag, I went lookin' for a place to hide
Peguei minha bolsa, fui procurar um lugar para me esconder
When I saw Carmen and the Devil walkin' side by side
Quando vi Carmen e o Diabo andando lado a lado
I said, "Hey, Carmen, come on let's go downtown"
Eu disse, "Ei, Carmen, vamos para o centro da cidade"
She said, "I gotta go, but my friend can stick around"
Ela disse, "Eu tenho que ir, mas meu amigo pode ficar"
Take a load off, Fanny
Alivie o peso, Fanny
Take a load for free
Alivie o peso de graça
Take a load off, Fanny
Alivie o peso, Fanny
And (and, and) you put the load right on me (you put the load right on me)

Go down, Miss Moses, there's nothin' you can say
Desça, Miss Moses, não há nada que você possa dizer
It's just ol' Luke and Luke's waitin' on the Judgment Day
É apenas o velho Luke e Luke está esperando pelo Dia do Julgamento
Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Anna Lee?
Bem, Luke, meu amigo, e quanto à jovem Anna Lee?
He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't you stay and keep Anna Lee company?"
Ele disse, "Faça-me um favor, filho, você não ficaria e faria companhia para Anna Lee?"
Take a load off, Fanny

And (and, and) you put the load right on me (you put the load right on me)

Crazy Chester followed me and he caught me in the fog
Crazy Chester me seguiu e me pegou na névoa
He said, "I will fix your rack, if you'll take Jack, my dog"
Ele disse, "Eu vou consertar seu rack, se você levar Jack, meu cachorro"
I said, "Wait a minute, Chester, you know I'm a peaceful man"
Eu disse, "Espere um minuto, Chester, você sabe que eu sou um homem pacífico"
He said, that's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can?
Ele disse, tudo bem, garoto, você não o alimentaria quando pudesse?

And (and, and) you put the load right on me (you put the load right on me)

Catch a cannon ball now to take me down the line
Pegue uma bola de canhão agora para me levar pela linha
My bag is sinkin' low and I do believe it's time
Minha bolsa está afundando e eu acredito que é hora
To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one
De voltar para Miss Fanny, você sabe que ela é a única
Who sent me here with her, regards for everyone
Que me enviou aqui com ela, cumprimentos para todos
Take a load off, Fanny
