Title: Comes a time , Neil Young, cover JP
Post by: Jean Pierre on April 01, 2025, 12:39:58 AM
"Comes a Time" is the ninth studio album by American-Canadian singer-songwriter Neil Young. The album, which is predominantly acoustic, in a country-rock/folk-rock vein akin to the 1972 album Harvest, was released on October 2, 1978.

Yesterday I wanted to do an acoustic song with Dobro, so here it is

Comes a time


Vient le temps

Comes a time
when you're driftin',*

Vient le temps
Où tu pars à la dérive,

Comes a time
when you settle down.

Vient le temps
Où tu t'apaises.

Comes a light
feelin's liftin',

Vient la lumière
Le cœur s'allège,

Lift that baby
right up off the ground.

Soulève ce bébé
Bien haut au dessus du sol.

Oh, this old world
keeps spinning round.

Oh, ce vieux monde
Continue de tourner.

It's a wonder tall trees
ain't layin' down

Par quel miracle les grands arbres
Ne se sont pas couchés.

There comes a time.

Voilà le temps .

You and I
we were captured

Toi et moi,
nous étions captifs.

We took our souls
and we flew away

Nous avons pris nos âmes
Et nous nous sommes envolés.

We were right,
we were giving,

Nous avions raison,
Nous étions généreux,

That's how we kept
what we gave away.

C'est comme ça que nous avons conservé
Tout ce que nous avons donné.

Oh, this old world
keeps spinning round.

Oh, ce vieux monde
Continue de tourner.

It's a wonder tall trees
ain't layin' down

Par quel miracle les grands arbres
Ne se sont pas couchés.

There comes a time.
Voilà le temps.

Really wonderful cover JP. Your vocal is excellent and the acoustic/slide are beautiful. I dig the subtle melodic in there too!

Your vocal delivery has traces of Dylan – and I mean that in the best way. A really good cover, JP. It's minimalist, with just enough added spice: dobro and accordion (BIAB?). Super!
