Lyrics and translation Bessie Smith - Poor Man's Blues




Poor Man's Blues
Le blues du pauvre homme
Mister Rich Man, Rich Man
Mon cher riche, riche homme
Open up your heart and mind
Ouvre ton cœur et ton esprit
Mister Rich Man, Rich Man
Mon cher riche, riche homme
Open up your heart and mind
Ouvre ton cœur et ton esprit
Give the poor man a chance
Donne une chance au pauvre homme
Help stop these hard, hard time
Aide à mettre fin à ces temps difficiles
While you livin' in your mansion
Alors que tu vis dans ton manoir
You don't know what hard time means
Tu ne sais pas ce que signifie les temps difficiles
While you livin' in your mansion
Alors que tu vis dans ton manoir
You don't know what hard time means
Tu ne sais pas ce que signifie les temps difficiles
Oh, workin' man's wife is starvin'
Oh, la femme de l'homme qui travaille est affamée
Your wife is livin' like a queen
Ta femme vit comme une reine
Please, listen to my pleadin'
S'il te plaît, écoute mes supplications
'Cause I can't stand these hard time long
Car je ne peux pas supporter ces temps difficiles longtemps
Oh, listen to my pleadin'
Oh, écoute mes supplications
Can't stand these hard time long
Je ne peux pas supporter ces temps difficiles longtemps
They'll make an honest man do things
Ils feront faire à un homme honnête des choses
That you know is wrong
Que tu sais être mal
All man fought all the battles
Tous les hommes ont combattu toutes les batailles
All man would fight again today
Tous les hommes se battraient à nouveau aujourd'hui
All man fought all the battles
Tous les hommes ont combattu toutes les batailles
All man would fight again today
Tous les hommes se battraient à nouveau aujourd'hui
He would do anything you ask him
Il ferait tout ce que tu lui demandes
In the name of the USA
Au nom des États-Unis
Now the war is over
Maintenant que la guerre est finie
All man must live the same as you
Tous les hommes doivent vivre comme toi
Now the war is over
Maintenant que la guerre est finie
All man must live the same as you
Tous les hommes doivent vivre comme toi
If it wasn't for the poor man
Si ce n'était pas pour le pauvre homme
Mister Rich Man, what would you do?
Mon cher riche homme, que ferais-tu ?
