Worn Out Papa Blues (with James P. Johnson) [with James P. Johnson]
Worn Out Papa Blues (avec James P. Johnson) [avec James P. Johnson]
Papa, papa, you in a good man′s way
Papa, papa, tu es sur le chemin d'un homme bien
Papa, papa, you in a good man's way
Papa, papa, tu es sur le chemin d'un homme bien
I can find one better than you any time of day
Je peux en trouver un meilleur que toi à tout moment de la journée
You ain′t no good so you better haul your freight
Tu ne vaux rien, alors tu ferais mieux de prendre tes jambes à ton cou
You ain't no good, you better haul your freight
Tu ne vaux rien, tu ferais mieux de prendre tes jambes à ton cou
Mama wants the live wire, papa, you can take the gate
Maman veut le fil électrique, papa, tu peux prendre la porte
I'm a red-hot woman, just full of flamin′ youth
Je suis une femme brûlante, pleine de jeunesse flamboyante
I′m a red-hot woman, just full of flamin' youth
Je suis une femme brûlante, pleine de jeunesse flamboyante
You can′t call me, daddy, you no good, that's the truth
Tu ne peux pas m'appeler, papa, tu ne vaux rien, c'est la vérité
All my time I wasted havin′ you to bother me
J'ai gaspillé tout mon temps à te supporter
All my time I wasted havin' you to bother me
J'ai gaspillé tout mon temps à te supporter
You give me the willingness, now I′m glad I'm free
Tu m'as donné envie, maintenant je suis contente d'être libre
I'm one woman, don′t want no, no good man
Je suis une femme, je ne veux pas d'un homme bon à rien
Yes, I′m one woman, don't want no, no good man
Oui, je suis une femme, je ne veux pas d'un homme bon à rien
You just like a worn-out-badly-be-neglected thing
Tu es comme une chose usée et négligée
Yo, you′ve done failed, all your peps done gone
Oh, tu as échoué, toute ta vigueur est partie
Yo, you've done failed, all your peps done gone
Oh, tu as échoué, toute ta vigueur est partie
Pick up that suitcase, man, and travel on
Prends ta valise, mec, et va-t'en
