Translation
Bilingual
'Cross the Mississippi line, somewhere south of Palestine
A river full a-rusty rain whistle on the midnight train
Beats into the misty air, movin' on to who knows where
Pushin' timbers, stealin' stone, destination anywhere, destiny unknown
Evangeline was her name, hot Cajun blood flow through her veins
Flashing eyes as black as coal burned into my very soul
She taunt and teased and hypnotized with promises and haunted lies
One day with the break of dawn I woke up in a empty bed to find out she was gone
I hear her laughin' in the rain
Even the wind that calls her name
All the loneliness and pain
She left behind
Let the darkness find its place
Let the shadows hide my face
So the moon won't see me cryin'
Evangeline
ย
I'm walkin' down this railroad track, lookin' forward, lookin' back
A one sweet kiss is hauntin' me, torturin' my memory
Visions that I can't resist vanish like the morning mist
A Country lane and city street just ahead, just behind, just beyond my reach
I hear her laughin' in the rain
Even the wind that calls her name
All the loneliness and pain
She left behind
Let the darkness find its place
Let the shadows hide my face
So the moon won't see me cryin'
Evangeline
So the moon won't see me cryin'
Evangeline
