Lyrics and translation Bessie Smith - Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out - 78rpm Version
Once
I
lived
the
life
of
a
millionaire
J'ai
déjà
vécu
la
vie
d'un
millionnaire
Spending
my
money,
I
didn't
care
J'ai
dépensé
mon
argent,
je
m'en
fichais
I
carried
my
friends
out
for
a
good
time
J'ai
emmené
mes
amis
pour
passer
du
bon
temps
Buying
bootleg
liquor,
champagne,
and
wine
Acheter
du
whisky
de
contrebande,
du
champagne
et
du
vin
When
I
began
to
fall
so
low
Quand
j'ai
commencé
à
sombrer
si
bas
I
didn't
have
a
friend,
and
no
place
to
go
Je
n'avais
pas
d'ami,
et
nulle
part
où
aller
So
if
I
ever
get
my
hand
on
a
dollar
again
Alors
si
je
mets
la
main
sur
un
dollar
à
nouveau
I'm
gonna
hold
on
to
it
'til
them
eagles
grin
Je
vais
m'y
accrocher
jusqu'à
ce
que
les
aigles
sourient
Nobody
knows
you
when
you
down
and
out
Personne
ne
te
connaît
quand
tu
es
au
fond
du
trou
In
my
pocket
not
one
penny
Dans
ma
poche
pas
un
sou
And
my
friends,
I
haven't
any
Et
mes
amis,
je
n'en
ai
plus
But
If
I
ever
get
on
my
feet
again
Mais
si
je
me
remets
sur
mes
pieds
Then
I'll
meet
my
long-lost
friend
Alors
je
retrouverai
mon
ami
perdu
de
vue
It's
mighty
strange
without
a
doubt
C'est
vraiment
étrange,
sans
aucun
doute
Nobody
knows
you
when
you
down
and
out
Personne
ne
te
connaît
quand
tu
es
au
fond
du
trou
I
mean
when
you
down
and
out
Je
veux
dire
quand
tu
es
au
fond
du
trou
Hmm,
when
you're
down
and
out
Hmm,
quand
tu
es
au
fond
du
trou
Hmm,
not
one
penny
and
my
friends
I
haven't
any
Hmm,
pas
un
sou
et
mes
amis,
je
n'en
ai
plus
Hmm,
well
I
felt
so
low
Hmm,
je
me
sentais
si
mal
Nobody
wants
me
'round
their
door
Personne
ne
veut
me
voir
à
sa
porte
Hmm,
without
a
doubt
Hmm,
sans
aucun
doute
No
man
can
use
you
when
you
down
and
out
Aucun
homme
ne
peut
t'utiliser
quand
tu
es
au
fond
du
trou
I
mean
when
you
down
and
out
Je
veux
dire
quand
tu
es
au
fond
du
trou
