Lyrics and translation Dinah Washington - Blues Down Home - Single Version

Blues Down Home - Single Version

You say, your party's jumpin', everybody's havin' a good time

Tu dis que ta soirée bat son plein, que tout le monde s'amuse bien

And you know, what's goin' through my mind

Et tu sais ce qui me passe par la tête

Do you mind if I get comfortable and kick of these shoes?

Ça te dérange si je m'installe confortablement et que j'enlève ces chaussures ?

While you're fixin' me a drink

Pendant que tu me prépares un verre

Play me some of them down home blues

Passe-moi un peu de ces blues du terroir

You know, I don't get out much on the town

Tu sais, je ne sors pas beaucoup en ville

And you know, I done cut out a lot of that runnin' around

Et tu sais, j'ai arrêté de courir partout

All week long, I've been keepin' my cool

Toute la semaine, j'ai gardé mon sang-froid

But tonight I'm lettin' my hair down

Mais ce soir, je me lâche

And get down with these down home blues

Et je me laisse aller avec ces blues du terroir

Down home blues, down home blues

Blues du terroir, blues du terroir

All I wanna hear is these down home blues

Tout ce que je veux entendre, c'est ces blues du terroir

All night long, every other record or two

Toute la nuit, un disque sur deux

Now take off those fast jams

Maintenant, enlève ces musiques rapides

And let me hear some down home blues, alright

Et laisse-moi écouter ces blues du terroir, d'accord

You know my ol' man is gonna wanna fight

Tu sais que mon vieux va vouloir se battre

Because of the hour I'll be getting in tonight, I don't care

À cause de l'heure à laquelle je rentrerai ce soir, je m'en moque

Tonight I'm gonna do without you

Ce soir, je vais me passer de toi

I'm gonna get my head real bang

Je vais vraiment me vider la tête

And party off of these down home blues, hey, hey yeah

Et faire la fête sur ces blues du terroir, hey, hey ouais

Down home blues, down home blues

Blues du terroir, blues du terroir

And all I wanna hear is those down home blues

Et tout ce que je veux entendre, c'est ces blues du terroir

All night long, every other record or two

Toute la nuit, un disque sur deux

I say, I'm gonna get my head real bang

Je dis, je vais vraiment me vider la tête

And party off of these down home, home blues

Et faire la fête sur ces blues du terroir

Yeah, yeah, yeah, down home blues

Ouais, ouais, ouais, blues du terroir
