No Expectations - The Rolling Stones (cover)

"No Expectations" is a song by the British rock and roll band the Rolling Stones featured on their 1968 album Beggars Banquet. It was first released as the B-side of the "Street Fighting Man" single in August 1968.

The song was written by singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards. The song is a slow, country-tinged blues ballad. "No Expectations" was one of the famed Beggars Banquet songs recorded live with open microphones set between the band members. In his review of the song, Bill Janovitz says, "The loneliness expressed in the song is palpable; all about being left behind, the song is certainly a tribute in musical and lyrical tone to such Robert Johnson blues songs as "Love in Vain" — a favourite cover of the Rolling Stones — referencing such images as a train leaving the station."[1]
Take me to the station, And put me on a train; I've got no expectations, To pass through here again
Once I was a rich man and, Now I am so poor; But never in my sweet short life, Have I felt like this before

"No Expectations" also features an acoustic slide guitar performance by Brian Jones. Jagger said in a 1995 interview in Rolling Stone, "That's Brian playing [the solo]. We were sitting around in a circle on the floor, singing and playing, recording with open mikes. That was the last time I remember Brian really being totally involved in something that was really worth doing. He was there with everyone else. It's funny how you remember — but that was the last moment I remember him doing that, because he had just lost interest in everything." [2] Accompanying Jones is Richards on acoustic rhythm guitar, with Janovitz remarking that Richards, "play[s] the same open-tuned rhythm he would later use on 'You Can't Always Get What You Want', also contributing to that lonely ambience." The song is also noted for its simple claves-kept beat by Charlie Watts and Nicky Hopkins' "building single-chord organ" and low piano trills.

No Expectations est une chanson des Rolling Stones. Elle apparait pour la première fois sur l'album Beggars Banquet, sorti en 1968.
Sa première interprétation en public eut lieu lors du Rock and Roll Circus, le 12 décembre 1968.
c'est cette version ke j'ai choisi

No Expectations (Aucune Espérance)

Conduis-moi à la gare
Et mets-moi dans un train
Je n'ai aucune espérance(1)
De passer par ici à nouveau

Autrefois j'étais un homme riche
Et maintenant je suis si pauvre
Mais jamais dans ma douce et brève vie
Me suis-je senti ainsi auparavant

Ton coeur est comme un diamant
Tu jettes tes perles aux cochons
Et en te voyant me quitter
Tu emportes dans tes bagages ma sérénité

Notre amour était comme l'eau
Qui éclabousse une pierre
Notre amour était comme notre musique
Il est là et puis il a disparu

Alors conduis-moi à l'aéroport
Et mets-moi dans un avion
Je n'ai aucune espérance
De passer par ici à nouveau
