Lyrics

Tranquille et la tete ailleurs c’etait un petit reveur.
Dans la ville avant les enfants obeissaient gentiment
Mais lui faisait ses p’tites bricoles au lieu d’aller à l’ecole.
On sentait pas à ses elements qu’il etait different.
Il etait loin loin loin loin.
Et puis vint dans son coeur l’emoi de l’amour qui nous envole.
Baby Doll je suis à toi comme le chantaient ses idoles.
Mais elle voulait petit bebe et la jolie maison neuve
Mais lui son regard dejà etait de l’autre côte du fleuve.
Il etait loin loin loin loin.
En parlant aux gens ou aux agents en lisant les circulaires
Il revait souvent le vent soulevant la poussière.
Dans les rues dans son metier il n’etait là qu'à moitie.
L’histoire dit qu’il avait pris l’esprit grande prairie.
Il etait loin loin loin loin il etait loin loin loin loin.
(Guitare solo)
Il y avait des chevaux sauvages le soir dans les embouteillages.
Solitaire en somme lonesome il voyait des paysages.
À la fin du film tout est dit le p’tit Claude s’appelle Eddy
Et l’histoire dit qu’il avait pris l’esprit grande prairie.
Il etait loin loin loin loin il etait loin loin loin loin.
L’esprit grande prairie.
Il etait loin loin loin loin il etait loin loin loin loin.

Lyrics translation

Quiet and the head elsewhere it was a little reveur.
In the city before the children kindly obeyed
But she was doing her little things instead of going to school.
It didn't feel to his elements that he was different.
He was far, far, far away.
And then came into his heart the emotion of love that flies us.
Baby Doll I am yours as his idols sang.
But she wanted little baby and the nice new house
But his gaze was already on the other side of the river.
He was far, far, far away.
By talking to people or agents by reading circulars
He often saw the wind lifting the dust.
On the streets in his trade he was only half there.
History says he had taken the Great prairie Spirit.
He was far far far far far he was far far far far far far.
(Guitar solo)
There were wild horses in the evening in traffic jams.
Lonely in sum lonesome he saw landscapes.
At the end of the film everything is said the little Claude is called Eddy
And history says that he had taken the Great prairie Spirit.
He was far far far far far he was far far far far far far.
The Great prairie Spirit.
He was far far far far far he was far far far far far far.
