Lyrics and translation Johnny Cash - Don't Take Your Guns To Town (Lyrics)
A
young
cowboy
named
Billy
Joe
grew
restless
on
the
farm
Un
jeune
cowboy
du
nom
de
Billy
Joe
s'est
lassé
de
la
ferme
A
boy
filled
with
wanderlust
who
really
meant
no
harm
Un
garçon
rempli
d'une
soif
d'aventure
qui
ne
voulait
vraiment
pas
de
mal
He
changed
his
clothes
and
shined
his
boots
and
combed
his
dark
hair
down
Il
a
changé
de
vêtements,
ciré
ses
bottes
et
brossé
ses
cheveux
noirs
And
his
mother
cried
as
he
walked
out
Et
sa
mère
a
pleuré
en
le
voyant
partir
"Don't
take
your
guns
to
town,
son
"Ne
ramène
pas
tes
armes
en
ville,
mon
fils
Leave
your
guns
at
home,
Bill
Laisse
tes
armes
à
la
maison,
Bill
Don't
take
your
guns
to
town"
Ne
ramène
pas
tes
armes
en
ville"
He
laughed
and
kissed
his
mom
and
said,
"Your
Billy
Joe's
a
man"
Il
a
ri,
embrassé
sa
mère
et
dit
: "Ton
Billy
Joe
est
un
homme"
I
can
shoot
as
quick
and
straight
as
anybody
can
Je
peux
tirer
aussi
vite
et
aussi
juste
que
n'importe
qui
But
I
wouldn't
shoot
without
a
cause;
I'd
gun
nobody
down"
Mais
je
ne
tirerais
pas
sans
raison,
je
ne
tirerais
sur
personne
But
she
cried
again
as
he
rode
away
Mais
elle
a
pleuré
à
nouveau
lorsqu'il
est
parti
"Don't
take
your
guns
to
town,
son
"Ne
ramène
pas
tes
armes
en
ville,
mon
fils
Leave
your
guns
at
home,
Bill
Laisse
tes
armes
à
la
maison,
Bill
Don't
take
your
guns
to
town"
Ne
ramène
pas
tes
armes
en
ville"
He
sang
a
song
as
on
he
rode
his
guns
hung
at
his
hips
Il
chantait
une
chanson
en
chevauchant,
ses
armes
accrochées
à
ses
hanches
He
rode
into
a
cattle
town,
a
smile
upon
his
lips
Il
est
arrivé
dans
une
ville
de
cowboys,
un
sourire
aux
lèvres
He
stopped
and
walked
into
a
bar
and
laid
his
money
down
Il
s'est
arrêté
et
est
entré
dans
un
bar,
déposant
son
argent
But
his
mother's
words
echoed
again
Mais
les
mots
de
sa
mère
ont
résonné
à
nouveau
"Don't
take
your
guns
to
town,
son
"Ne
ramène
pas
tes
armes
en
ville,
mon
fils
Leave
your
guns
at
home,
Bill
Laisse
tes
armes
à
la
maison,
Bill
Don't
take
your
guns
to
town"
Ne
ramène
pas
tes
armes
en
ville"
He
drank
his
first
strong
liquor
then
to
calm
his
shaking
hand
Il
a
bu
son
premier
verre
d'alcool
fort
pour
calmer
ses
mains
tremblantes
And
tried
to
tell
himself
at
last
he
had
become
a
man
Et
a
essayé
de
se
convaincre
qu'il
était
enfin
devenu
un
homme
A
dusty
cowpoke
at
his
side
began
to
laugh
him
down
Un
cow-boy
poussiéreux
à
ses
côtés
s'est
mis
à
se
moquer
de
lui
And
he
heard
again
his
mothers
words
Et
il
a
entendu
à
nouveau
les
mots
de
sa
mère
"Don't
take
your
guns
to
town,
son
"Ne
ramène
pas
tes
armes
en
ville,
mon
fils
Leave
your
guns
at
home,
Bill
Laisse
tes
armes
à
la
maison,
Bill
Don't
take
your
guns
to
town"
Ne
ramène
pas
tes
armes
en
ville"
Filled
with
rage
then
Billy
Joe
reached
for
his
gun
to
draw
Rempli
de
rage,
Billy
Joe
a
tendu
la
main
vers
son
arme
pour
la
tirer
But
the
stranger
drew
his
gun
and
fired
before
he
even
saw
Mais
l'étranger
a
dégainé
son
arme
et
a
tiré
avant
même
qu'il
ne
la
voie
As
Billy
Joe
fell
to
the
floor,
the
crowd
all
gathered
'round
Alors
que
Billy
Joe
tombait
au
sol,
la
foule
s'est
rassemblée
And
wondered
at
his
final
words
Et
s'est
interrogée
sur
ses
derniers
mots
"Don't
take
your
guns
to
town
son
"Ne
ramène
pas
tes
armes
en
ville,
mon
fils
Leave
your
guns
at
home
Bill
Laisse
tes
armes
à
la
maison,
Bill
Don't
take
your
guns
to
town"
Ne
ramène
pas
tes
armes
en
ville"
