Lyrics and translation Elvis Presley - Johnny B. Goode

Johnny B. Goode

Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans

Au fond de la Louisiane, près de la Nouvelle-Orléans

Way back up in the woods among the Evergreens

Loin dans les bois, parmi les sapins

There stood an log cabin made of earth and wood

Il y avait une cabane en bois et en terre

Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode

Où vivait un garçon de campagne nommé Johnny B. Goode

Who never learned to read or write so well

Qui n'a jamais appris à lire ou à écrire aussi bien

But he could play a guitar just like ringing a bell

Mais il pouvait jouer de la guitare comme une cloche

Go go

Vas-y, vas-y

Go Johnny go go

Vas-y Johnny, vas-y

Go Johnny go go go

Vas-y Johnny, vas-y, vas-y

Go Johnny go go

Vas-y Johnny, vas-y

Go Johnny go go

Vas-y Johnny, vas-y

Johnny B. Goode

His mama told him, someday you will be a man

Sa maman lui disait, un jour tu seras un homme

And you will be the leader of a big old band

Et tu seras le chef d'un grand orchestre

Many people coming from miles around

Beaucoup de gens viendront de loin

To hear you play your music when the sun goes down

Pour t'entendre jouer ta musique quand le soleil se couche

And maybe someday your name will be in lights, saying

Et peut-être un jour ton nom sera en lumières, disant

"Johnny B. Goode tonight"

« Johnny B. Goode ce soir »

Go, go, go, go

Vas-y, vas-y, vas-y, vas-y

Go Johnny go go

Vas-y Johnny, vas-y

Go Johnny go go go

Vas-y Johnny, vas-y, vas-y

Go Johnny go go

Vas-y Johnny, vas-y

Go Johnny go go

Vas-y Johnny, vas-y

Johnny B. Goode

His mama told him, someday you will be a man

Sa maman lui disait, un jour tu seras un homme

And you will be the leader of a big old band

Et tu seras le chef d'un grand orchestre

Many people coming from miles around

Beaucoup de gens viendront de loin

To hear you play your music when the sun goes down

Pour t'entendre jouer ta musique quand le soleil se couche

And maybe someday your name will be in lights, saying

Et peut-être un jour ton nom sera en lumières, disant

"Johnny B. Goode tonight"

« Johnny B. Goode ce soir »

Go, go, go, go

Vas-y, vas-y, vas-y, vas-y

Go Johnny go go

Vas-y Johnny, vas-y

Go Johnny go go go

Vas-y Johnny, vas-y, vas-y

Go Johnny go go

Vas-y Johnny, vas-y

Go Johnny go go

Vas-y Johnny, vas-y
