Lyrics and translation Bessie Smith - Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out (Remastered)




Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out (Remastered)
Personne ne te connaît quand tu es au fond du trou (Remasterisé)
Once I lived the life of a millionaire
J'ai déjà vécu la vie d'une millionnaire
Spent all my money, didn't have any care
J'ai dépensé tout mon argent, je n'avais aucun souci
Took all my friends out for a mighty good time
J'ai emmené tous mes amis pour passer un bon moment
Bought bootleg whisky, champagne and wine
J'ai acheté du whisky de contrebande, du champagne et du vin
Then I began to fall so low
Ensuite, j'ai commencé à sombrer
Lost all my good friends, I did not have nowhere to go
J'ai perdu tous mes bons amis, je n'avais nulle part où aller
I get my hands on a dollar again
Si j'ai un dollar entre les mains à nouveau
I'm gonna hang on to it till that eagle grins
Je vais m'y accrocher jusqu'à ce que l'aigle sourit
'Cause no, no, nobody knows you
Parce que non, non, personne ne te connaît
When you're down and out
Quand tu es au fond du trou
In your pocket, not one penny
Pas un sou en poche
And as for friends, you don't have any
Et pour les amis, tu n'en as aucun
When you finally get back up on your feet again
Quand tu finiras par te remettre sur tes pieds
Everybody wants to be your old long-lost friend
Tout le monde voudra être ton vieil ami perdu de vue
Said it's mighty strange, without a doubt
C'est vraiment étrange, sans aucun doute
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
Personne ne te connaît quand tu es au fond du trou
When you finally get back upon your feet again
Quand tu finiras par te remettre sur tes pieds
Everybody wants to be your good old long-lost friend
Tout le monde voudra être ton bon vieil ami perdu de vue
Said it's mighty strange
C'est vraiment étrange
Nobody knows you
Personne ne te connaît
Nobody knows you
Personne ne te connaît
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
Personne ne te connaît quand tu es au fond du trou
