Lyrics and translation Elvis Presley - Guitar Man - alt. take 1
If
you're
looking
for
trouble
Si
tu
cherches
des
ennuis
You
came
to
the
right
place
Tu
es
au
bon
endroit
If
you're
looking
for
trouble
Si
tu
cherches
des
ennuis
Just
look
right
in
my
face
Regarde-moi
droit
dans
les
yeux
I
was
born
standing
up
Je
suis
né
debout
And
talking
back
Et
je
réponds
My
daddy
was
a
green-eyed
mountain
jack
Mon
père
était
un
montagnard
aux
yeux
verts
Because
I'm
evil,
my
middle
name
is
misery
Parce
que
je
suis
méchant,
mon
deuxième
prénom
est
Misère
Well
I'm
evil,
so
don't
you
mess
around
with
me
Eh
bien,
je
suis
méchant,
alors
ne
t'amuse
pas
avec
moi
Well,
I
quit
my
job
down
at
the
car
wash
Eh
bien,
j'ai
démissionné
de
mon
travail
au
lavage
de
voitures
Left
my
mama
a
goodbye
note
J'ai
laissé
un
mot
d'adieu
à
ma
mère
By
sundown
I'd
left
Kingston
Au
coucher
du
soleil,
j'avais
quitté
Kingston
With
my
guitar
under
my
coat
Avec
ma
guitare
sous
mon
manteau
I
hitchhiked
all
the
way
down
to
Memphis
J'ai
fait
de
l'auto-stop
jusqu'à
Memphis
Got
a
room
at
the
YMCA
J'ai
pris
une
chambre
au
YMCA
For
the
next
three
weeks
I
went
huntin'
them
nights
Pendant
les
trois
semaines
suivantes,
j'ai
chassé
ces
nuits
Just
lookin'
for
a
place
to
play
Cherchant
juste
un
endroit
pour
jouer
Well,
I
thought
my
pickin'
would
set
'em
on
fire
Eh
bien,
je
pensais
que
mon
jeu
les
enflammerait
But
nobody
wanted
to
hire
a
guitar
man
Mais
personne
ne
voulait
embaucher
un
guitariste
Well,
I
nearly
'bout
starved
to
death
down
in
Memphis
Eh
bien,
j'ai
failli
mourir
de
faim
à
Memphis
I
run
outta
money
and
luck
Je
suis
à
court
d'argent
et
de
chance
So
I
bought
me
a
ride
down
to
Macon,
Georgia
Alors
je
me
suis
payé
un
voyage
à
Macon,
en
Géorgie
On
a
overloaded
poultry
truck
Sur
un
camion
à
volaille
surchargé
I
thumbed
on
down
to
Panama
City
Je
suis
arrivé
jusqu'à
Panama
City
Started
pickin'
out
some
o'
them
all
night
bars
J'ai
commencé
à
jouer
dans
certains
de
ces
bars
toute
la
nuit
Hopin'
I
could
make
myself
a
dollar
Espérant
pouvoir
me
faire
un
dollar
Makin'
music
on
my
guitar
En
faisant
de
la
musique
avec
ma
guitare
I
got
the
same
old
story
at
them
all
night
piers
J'ai
la
même
vieille
histoire
dans
tous
ces
bars
toute
la
nuit
There
ain't
no
room
around
here
for
a
guitar
man
Il
n'y
a
pas
de
place
ici
pour
un
guitariste
So
I
slept
in
the
hobo
jungles
Alors
j'ai
dormi
dans
les
jungles
des
clochards
Roamed
a
thousand
miles
of
track
J'ai
parcouru
mille
milles
de
voies
ferrées
Till
I
found
myself
in
Mobile
Alabama
Jusqu'à
ce
que
je
me
retrouve
à
Mobile,
en
Alabama
At
a
club
they
call
Big
Jack's
Dans
un
club
qu'ils
appellent
Big
Jack's
A
little
four-piece
band
was
jammin'
Un
petit
groupe
de
quatre
musiciens
jouait
du
jam
So
I
took
my
guitar
and
I
sat
in
Alors
j'ai
pris
ma
guitare
et
je
me
suis
assis
I
showed
'em
what
a
band
would
sound
like
Je
leur
ai
montré
à
quoi
ressemblerait
un
groupe
With
a
swingin'
little
guitar
man
Avec
un
petit
guitariste
qui
swingue
Show
'em,
son
Montre-leur,
mon
garçon
If
you
ever
take
a
trip
down
to
the
ocean
Si
jamais
tu
fais
un
voyage
jusqu'à
l'océan
Find
yourself
down
around
Mobile
Retrouve-toi
dans
les
environs
de
Mobile
Make
it
on
out
to
a
club
called
Jack's
Va
jusqu'à
un
club
appelé
Jack's
If
you
got
a
little
time
to
kill
Si
tu
as
un
peu
de
temps
à
perdre
Just

that
crowd
of
people
Suis
juste
cette
foule
de
gens
You'll
wind
up
out
on
his
dance
floor
Tu

piste
de

Diggin'
