Lyrics and translation Jewelle Blackman feat. Yvette Gonzalez-Nacer, Kay Trinidad & Eva Noblezada - When the Chips are Down

When the Chips are Down

Quand les jetons tombent

Life ain't easy

La vie n'est pas facile

Life ain't fair

La vie n'est pas juste

A girl's gotta fight for her rightful share

Une fille doit se battre pour sa part légitime

What you gonna do when the chips are down

Que vas-tu faire quand les jetons tombent

Now that the chips are down?

Maintenant que les jetons tombent ?

What you gonna do when the chips are down

Que vas-tu faire quand les jetons tombent

Now that the chips are down?

Maintenant que les jetons tombent ?

Help yourself

Aide-toi toi-même

To hell with the rest

Au diable le reste

Even the one who loves you best

Même celui qui t'aime le plus

What you gonna do when the chips are down

Que vas-tu faire quand les jetons tombent

Now that the chips are down?

Maintenant que les jetons tombent ?

What you gonna do when the chips are down

Que vas-tu faire quand les jetons tombent

Now that the chips are down?

Maintenant que les jetons tombent ?

Oh, my aching heart...

Oh, mon cœur qui me fait mal...

What you gonna do when the chips are down

Que vas-tu faire quand les jetons tombent

Now that the chips are down?

Maintenant que les jetons tombent ?

Take if you can

Prends si tu peux

Give if you must

Donne si tu dois

Ain't nobody but yourself to trust

Il n'y a personne d'autre que toi-même à qui faire confiance

What you gonna do when the chips are down

Que vas-tu faire quand les jetons tombent

Now that the chips are down?

Maintenant que les jetons tombent ?

What you gonna do when the chips are down

Que vas-tu faire quand les jetons tombent

Now that the chips are down?

Maintenant que les jetons tombent ?

Aim for the heart

Vise le cœur

Shoot to kill

Tuer

If you don't do it then the other one will

Si tu ne le fais pas, l'autre le fera

What you gonna do when the chips are down

Que vas-tu faire quand les jetons tombent

Now that the chips are down?

Maintenant que les jetons tombent ?

What you gonna do when the chips are down

Que vas-tu faire quand les jetons tombent

Now that the chips are down?

Maintenant que les jetons tombent ?

And the first shall be first

Et le premier sera le premier

And the last shall be last

Et le dernier sera le dernier

Cast your eyes to heaven

Lève les yeux vers le ciel

You get a knife in the back

Tu reçois un couteau dans le dos

Nobody's righteous

Personne n'est juste

Nobody's proud

Personne n'est fier

Nobody's innocent

Personne n'est innocent

Now that the chips are down

Maintenant que les jetons tombent

Now that the-
