Original lyrics
Needle and the Damage Done
I caught you knockin'
at my cellar door
I love you, baby,
can I have some more
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.
I hit the city and
I lost my band
I watched the needle
take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done.
I sing the song
because I love the man
I know that some
of you don't understand
Milk blood
to keep from running out1.
I've seen the needle
and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's
like a settin' sun.
- 1. "This refers to how heroin addicts will often extract some of their own blood into a needle while they are still high to save for later since it still has trace amounts of heroin." (https://spinditty.com/genres/Songs-as-Poetry-Neil-Youngs-Needle-and-the-...)
Translation
L'aiguille et les dommages causés
Je t'ai surprise en train de frapper
A la porte de ma cave
Je t'aime, baby
Est-ce que je peux en avoir un peu plus
Ooh, ooh, les dommages causés.
J'ai rencontré la ville et
J'ai perdu mon groupe
J'ai regardé l'aiguille
Prendre un autre homme
Il est parti, parti, le dommage causé
Je chante cette chanson
Car j'aime l'homme
Je sais que certains
D'entre vous ne comprennent pas
Du "milk-blood"
Pour éviter d'être en manque.
J'ai vu l'aiguille
Et les dommages causés
Il y en a une petite part en chacun de nous
Mais chaque junkie
Est comme un coucher de soleil.
