A Balada de John Train

The Ballad Of John Train

Phil Ochs chegou no Chelsea Hotel,Phil Ochs checked into the Chelsea Hotel,
Estava com sangue na roupa e tudo sujo.There was blood on his clothes and they were dirty.
Pelo seu rosto dava pra ver que não tava bem,I could see by his face he was not feeling well,
Ele tinha ido em festas demais.He'd been to one too many parties.
Entrou no saguão, parecia um presságio,He walked in the lobby a picture of doom,
Era claro que ele tinha bebido.It was plain to see he'd been a-drinkin'
Eu tive que segui-lo até o quarto,I had to follow him up to his room,
Pra descobrir o que ele tava pensando.To find out what he was thinking
"Trem, Trem, Trem""Train, Train, Train"
Do fora da lei na cabeça deleFrom the outlaw in his brain
Mas ele ainda repete a mesma canção.But he's still the same refrain

Ele entrou no quarto e caiu no chãoHe walked in his room and he fell on the floor
Lidando com a ressacaHanging in his hangover
Agora o ato que ele faz no palco é na ruaNow the act from the stage he plays on the street
Distribuindo grana pra todo lado.Handing out piles of money
Seu público agora são os mendigos que encontraHis audience now is the bums that he meets
Ele é um farsante ou engraçado?Is he a phony or funny?
