Lyrics and translation Buck Owens - I Wouldn't Live In New York City (If They Gave Me The Whole Dang Town)
It
ain′t
nothin'
but
a
concrete
jungle,
with
people
packed
like
sardines
Ce
n'est
qu'une
jungle
de
béton,
avec
des
gens
entassés
comme
des
sardines
Where
everybody′s
tryin',
to
live
beyond
their
means
Où
tout
le
monde
essaie
de
vivre
au-dessus
de
ses
moyens
Where
all
the
natives
hurry,
and
scurry
too
and
fro
Où
tous
les
habitants
se
précipitent
et
courent
dans
tous
les
sens
And
like
fleas
on
a
puppy
dog,
they
got
no
place
to
go
Et
comme
des
puces
sur
un
chiot,
ils
n'ont
nulle
part
où
aller
I
wouldn't
live
in
New
York
City,
if
they
gave
me
the
whole
damn
town
Je
ne
voudrais
pas
vivre
à
New
York,
même
si
on
me
donnait
toute
la
ville
Talk
about
a
bummer,
it′s
the
biggest
one
around
Parle
d'un
désastre,
c'est
le
plus
grand
qui
soit
Sodom
and
Gommorah,
was
tame
to
what
I
found
Sodom
et
Gomorrhe
étaient
fades
comparés
à
ce
que
j'ai
trouvé
I
wouldn′t
live
in
New
York
City,
if
they
gave
me
the
whole
damn
town
Je
ne
voudrais
pas
vivre
à
New
York,
même
si
on
me
donnait
toute
la
ville
Well,
I
ain't
seen
the
sunshine,
since
the
day
that
I
arrived
Eh
bien,
je
n'ai
pas
vu
le
soleil
depuis
mon
arrivée
′Cause
brother,
I've
been
busy,
a-tryin′
to
survive
Parce
que,
mon
cher,
j'ai
été
occupé
à
essayer
de
survivre
Nobody
knows
you've
been
here,
′til
you're
six-feet
under
ground
Personne
ne
sait
que
tu
as
été
ici
avant
que
tu
ne
sois
six
pieds
sous
terre
Then
you
become
a
statistic,
if
they
remember
to
write
you
down
Puis
tu
deviens
une
statistique,
s'ils
se
souviennent
de
t'inscrire
I
wouldn't
live
in
New
York
City,
if
they
gave
me
the
whole

Je
ne
voudrais
pas
vivre
à
New
York,
