Jean Michel Caradec is a singer composer very talented who died prematurely in 33 years in a car accident during a musical tour..

Hehad made in 1975 this song in tribut  to Bob Dylan and more particularly its first opuses (between 1962 and 1965)

In this song ""Desolation Row (is not in France)"  he makes a reference to several dylan's songs...

tomorrow I put for you French Lyric and translation ...

BIAB just for drums and harmonica (all of the rest is guitar Martin 000, Uke Bass,  Dobro et sing...)

[ODH]

Ooh, I've had to go back and have another listen to that, it's so good.

I love how you get everything to sound so relaxed and easy.  I guess that's what talent sounds like.

Nice one, MiiJ.

 

[Jean Pierre]

[wurdz]La petite fille   aux yeux tristes   Des Lowlands
La fille du Nord   ou c'est pas   tres beau La province
C'est pas facile a dire    Tout ce qu'on pense
Desolation Row N'est pas en France

Les maitres de la guerre Jouent avec notre monde
Les maitres de l'argent Font         A voter comme ils sondent
C'est pas facile a dire Tout ce qu'on pense
Desolation Row N'est pas en France

Hollis Brown crevait Dans son bidonville
Lutter ou s'ecraser C'est face ou pile
C'est pas facile a dire Tout ce qu'on pense
Desolation Row N'est pas en France

William Zanzinger peut  payerSon amende
Il n'a rien fait d'assez Grave pour qu'on le pende
C'est pas facile a dire Tout ce qu'on pense
Desolation Row N'est pas en France

Farewell Angelina Les temps changent
Laissons s'engraisser les riche Avant qu'on les mange
C'est pas facile a dire Tout ce qu'on pense
Desolation Row N'est pas en France

Mister Tambourine Man  je suivrai ta route
Il faut chanter ce qu'on aime Coute que coute   Meme si?
C'est pas facile a dire Tout ce qu'on pense
Desolation Row N'est pas en France

Blowin' in the wind  C'est la chanson d'esperance
Si on veut s'en sortir  Faut relever ses manches
Un jour on pourra dire  Tout ce qu'on pense
Il suffit de changer La France

and  rough tranlation 

[wurdz]The girl with the sad eyes Of Lowlands
The girl of the North or it is not very a beautiful country
It is not easy to say All that we think of
Desolation Row is not in France

Masters of the war play with our world
Masters of the money Make vote as they sound
It is not easy ....etc

Hollis Brown died In its shanty town
To fight or crash It is face or crush
It is not easy ....

William Zanzinger can pay his fine
He made nothing of rather Grave so that one hang him
It is not easy ....

Farewell Angelina times are changing
Let us let get fat rich Before we eat them
It is not easy ....

Mister Tambourine Man I shall follow your road
It is necessary to sing what we like At all costs , Even if
It is not easy .....

Blowin ' in the wind It is the song of hope
If we want to take out there Needs to roll up his/her sleeves
One day we can say All that we think of
It is enough to change France ( and certainly many others countries :-)

[Jean Pierre]

thank you Hilary and Ian

Desolation Road might be in Australia.

Yes may be..,  but  I  thinks that there is a lot of road sadness in many  countries unfortunately
 and  fortunately there is so much road of the enjoyment almost everywhere

Dear friends take the good roads
