Roch Voisine - City of New Orleans

City of New Orleans

Original songwriter: Steve Goodman

Riding on the city of New Orleans

Illinois Central monday morning rail

Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders

Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail

All along the southbound odyssey

The train pulls out of Kankakee

Rolls along past houses farms and fields

Passing trains that have no name

Freight yards full of old black men

And the graveyards of rusted automobiles

Good morning America how are you?

Don't you know me?

I'm your native son

I'm the train they call the city of New Orleans

And I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done

Les matins se suivent et se ressemblent

Quand l'amour fait place au quotidien

On n'était pas fait pour vivre ensemble

Ça n'suffit pas toujours d's'aimer bien

C'est drôle hier on s'ennuyait et c'est à peine si l'on trouvait

Des mots pour se parler du mauvais temps

Mais maintenant qu'il faut partir on a cent mille choses à dire

Qui tiennent trop à coeur pour si peu d'temps

On s'est aimé comme on se quitte

Tout simplement sans penser à demain

À demain qui vient toujours un peu trop vite

Aux adieux qui quelquefois se passent un peu trop bien

On s'est aimé comme on se quitte

Tout simplement sans penser à demain

I'm the train they call the city of New Orleans

And I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done
