Debussy: Pelléas et Mélisande, L.88 / Act 3 - "Ah, je respire enfin"

歌詞

When I was a little girl in Dixie I used to chase the fireflies Then I grew up and started chasing the guys Teenage romance what just the thing Till I got in a family way Now mama only working in a cheap cafe Waiting on tables and passing myself around Dixie girl, you're the small talk In a small talking town I fall in love every day with someone Who ends up just driving away While I dreaming I with him Going down that west bound highway One night a man walks in and smiles And orders coffee black Took me for a ride in his brand new cadillac Told me he loved me with all his heart I told him I loved him too He said goodbye Dixie, I'll be back for you Waiting on tables and passing myself around Dixie girl, you're the small talk In a small talking town I fall in love every day with someone Who ends up just driving away While I dreaming I with him Going down that west bound highway Now all I do is read those Hollywood photograph magazines Work my shifts for tips And live alone in my dreams I'm a Dixie girl who prays Some day she'll be a Delta queen Find a good man, Who'll raise me and my baby Waiting on tables and passing myself around Dixie girl, you're the small talk In a small talking town I fall in love every day with someone Who ends up just driving away While I dreaming I with him Going down that west bound highway
