By The Time I Get to Phoenix
(Song by Glen Campbell / YouTube, 2015)
♫

By the time I get to Phoenix she'll be rising
She'll find the note I left hangin' on her door
And she'll laugh when she reads the part that says I'm leavin'
'Cause I've left that girl so many times before
By the time I make Albuquerque she'll be workin'
She'll probably stop at lunch and give me a call
But she'll just hear that phone keep on ringin'
Off the wall, that's all
By the time I make Oklahoma she'll be sleepin'
She'll turn softly and call my name out low
And she'll cry just to think I'd really leave her
Though time and time I've tried to tell her so
Oh, she just didn't know
I would really go, I would really go

she’ll just hear that phone
keep on ringing off the wall
le temps que j’arrive à Phoenix
elle sera en train de se lever
que j’ai laissé accroché à sa porte
que je m’en vais, que je la quitte
car j’ai quitté cette fille
tant de fois auparavant
que j’arrive à
elle sera en train de travailler
arrêter (de travailler) à l’heure du déjeuner
et me passer un coup de fil
elle n’entendra que la sonnerie du téléphone
continuer à sonner sans que personne ne décroche

By the time I make Oklahoma
she’ll be sleepin’ (sleeping)
she’ll turn softly
and call my name out low
just to think
though time and time
to tell her so
she just didn’t know
le temps que j’arrive à Oklahoma
elle sera en train de dormir
elle se retournera doucement
et dire mon nom tout bas
rien qu’à penser
bien que plusieurs fois
de le lui dire
elle ne le savait tout simplement pas
