Lyrics and translation Johnny Cash - Don't Take Your Guns to Town
A
young
cowboy
named
Billy
Joe
grew
restless
on
the
farm
Un
jeune
cowboy
du
nom
de
Billy
Joe
s'est
lassé
de
la
ferme
A
boy
filled
with
wanderlust
who
really
meant
no
harm
Un
garçon
rempli
de
soif
d'aventure
qui
ne
voulait
vraiment
pas
faire
de
mal
He
changed
his
clothes
and
shined
his
boots
Il
a
changé
de
vêtements
et
a
nettoyé
ses
bottes
And
combed
his
dark
hair
down
Et
il
s'est
peigné
les
cheveux
noirs
And
his
mother
cried
as
he
walked
out
Et
sa
mère
a
pleuré
lorsqu'il
est
parti
"Don't
take
your
guns
to
town,
son
"N'emmène
pas
tes
armes
en
ville,
mon
fils
Leave
your
guns
at
home,
Bill
Laisse
tes
armes
à
la
maison,
Bill
Don't
take
your
guns
to
town"
N'emmène
pas
tes
armes
en
ville"
He
laughed
and
kissed
his
mom
and
said,
"Your
Billy
Joe's
a
man
Il
a
ri
et
a
embrassé
sa
mère
en
disant
: "Ton
Billy
Joe
est
un
homme
I
can
shoot
as
quick
and
straight
as
anybody
can
Je
peux
tirer
aussi
vite
et
aussi
droit
que
n'importe
qui
But
I
wouldn't
shoot
without
a
cause,
I'd
gun
nobody
down"
Mais
je
ne
tirerais
pas
sans
raison,
je
ne
tuerais
personne"
But
she
cried
again
as
he
rode
away
Mais
elle
a
pleuré
à
nouveau
lorsqu'il
est
parti
"Don't
take
your
guns
to
town,
son
"N'emmène
pas
tes
armes
en
ville,
mon
fils
Leave
your
guns
at
home,
Bill
Laisse
tes
armes
à
la
maison,
Bill
Don't
take
your
guns
to
town"
N'emmène
pas
tes
armes
en
ville"
He
sang
a
song
as
on
he
rode,
his
guns
hung
at
his
hips
Il
chantait
une
chanson
en
chevauchant,
ses
armes
accrochées
à
ses
hanches
He
rode
into
a
cattle
town,
a
smile
upon
his
lips
Il
est
entré
dans
une
ville
de
cow-boys,
un
sourire
aux
lèvres
He
stopped
and
walked
into
a
bar
and
laid
his
money
down
Il
s'est
arrêté
et
est
entré
dans
un
bar,
déposant
son
argent
But
his
mother's
words
echoed
again
Mais
les
paroles
de
sa
mère
ont
résonné
à
nouveau
"Don't
take
your
guns
to
town,
son
"N'emmène
pas
tes
armes
en
ville,
mon
fils
Leave
your
guns
at
home,
Bill
Laisse
tes
armes
à
la
maison,
Bill
Don't
take
your
guns
to
town"
N'emmène
pas
tes
armes
en
ville"
He
drank
his
first
strong
liquor
then
to
calm
his
shaking
hand
Il
a
bu
son
premier
verre
de
boisson
forte
pour
calmer
sa
main
qui
tremblait
And
tried
to
tell
himself
at
last
he
had
become
a
man
Et
il
a
essayé
de
se
dire
qu'il
était
enfin
devenu
un
homme
A
dusty
cowpoke
at
his
side
began
to
laugh
him
down
Un
cow-boy
poussiéreux
à
ses
côtés
s'est
mis
à
se
moquer
de
lui
And
he
heard
again
his
mother's
words
Et
il
a
entendu
à
nouveau
les
paroles
de
sa
mère
"Don't
take
your
guns
to
town,
son
"N'emmène
pas
tes
armes
en
ville,
mon
fils
Leave
your
guns
at
home,
Bill
Laisse
tes
armes
à
la
maison,
Bill
Don't
take
your
guns
to
town"
N'emmène
pas
tes
armes
en
ville"
Filled
with
rage,
then
Billy
Joe
reached
for
his
gun
to
draw
Rempli
de
rage,
Billy
Joe
a
alors
tendu
la
main
vers
son
arme
pour
la
tirer
But
the
stranger
drew
his
gun
and
fired
before
he
even
saw
Mais
l'étranger
a
dégainé
son
arme
et
a
tiré
avant
même
qu'il
ne
le
voie
As
Billy
Joe
fell
to
the
floor,
the
crowd
all
gathered
'round
Alors
que
Billy
Joe
tombait
au
sol,
la
foule
s'est
rassemblée
autour
de
lui
And
wondered
at
his
final
words
Et
s'est
demandé
ce
qu'il
avait
dit
dans
ses
derniers
instants
"Don't
take
your
guns
to
town,
son
"N'emmène
pas
tes
armes
en
ville,
mon
fils
Leave
your
guns
at
home,
Bill
Laisse
tes
armes
à
la
maison,
Bill
Don't
take
your
guns
to
town"
N'emmène
pas
tes
armes
en
ville"
