Lyrics and translation Louis Jordan - Jack You're Dead
When
you've
got
no
more
assurance
Quand
tu
n'as
plus
aucune
assurance
Than
a
great
big
hunk
of
lead
Que
la
lourdeur
d'un
gros
morceau
de
plomb
And
if
you
don't
respond
to
romance
Et
si
tu
ne
réponds
pas
à
la
romance
Jack,
you're
dead!
Jack,
tu
es
mort !
When
a
chick
is
smiling
at
you
Quand
une
fille
te
sourit
Even
though
there's
nothing
said
Même
s'il
n'y
a
rien
de
dit
If
you
stand
there
like
a
statue
Si
tu
restes
là
comme
une
statue
Jack,
you're
dead!
Jack,
tu
es
mort !
You've
been
always
kicking
Tu
as
toujours
été
un
frappeur
But
you
stubbed
your
toes
Mais
tu
t'es
cogné
les
orteils
When
you
ups
and
kicks
the
bucket
Quand
tu
as
fini
par
passer
l'arme
à
gauche
Just
like
old
man
mose
Tout
comme
le
vieux
Mose
When
you
get
no
kicks
from
loving
Quand
tu
ne
tires
plus
de
plaisir
de
l'amour
And
you
blow
your
top
instead
Et
que
tu
perds
ton
sang-froid
It's
a
fact
that
you
ain't
living
C'est
un
fait
que
tu
ne
vis
plus
Jack,
you're
dead!
Jack,
tu
es
mort !
If
you
just
ain't
got
nobody
Si
tu
n'as
plus
personne
Since
you've
gone
and
lost
your
head
Depuis
que
tu
as
perdu
la
tête
Rigor
Mortis
has
set
in
daddy
La
rigidité
cadavérique
s'est
installée
papa
Jack,
you're
dead!
Jack,
tu
es
mort !
What's
the
use
of
having
muscles
A
quoi
bon
avoir
des
muscles
When
your
life
hangs
by
a
thread
Quand
ta
vie
tient
à
un
fil
If
you
ain't
got
no
red
corpuscles
Si
tu
n'as
plus
de
globules
rouges
Jack,
you're
dead!
Jack,
tu
es
mort !
You've
been
always
kicking
Tu
as
toujours
été
un
frappeur
But
you
stubbed
your
toes
Mais
tu
t'es
cogné
les
orteils
When
you
ups
and
kicks
the
bucket
Quand
tu
as
fini
par
passer
l'arme
à
gauche
Just
like
old
man
mose
Tout
comme
le
vieux
Mose
When
you
get
no
kicks
from
loving
Quand
tu
ne
tires
plus
de
plaisir
de
l'amour
And
the
news
begins
to
spread
Et
que
la
nouvelle
commence
à
se
répandre
All
the
cats
will
holler,
"Murder!"
Tous
les
chats
crieront
"Meurtre
!"
Jack,
you're
dead!
Jack,
tu
es
mort !
All
the
breath
is
leaked
out
of
you
Tout
ton
souffle
s'est
échappé
de
toi
When
your
friends
gather
'round
the
bed
Quand
tes
amis
se
rassemblent
autour
du
lit
Look
at
you
and
say,
"Don't
he
look
natural"
Te
regardent
et
disent
"Il
n'a
pas
l'air
naturel"
When
that
happens
to
you,
daddy
Quand
cela
t'arrive,
papa
Jack,
you're
dead!
Jack,
tu
es
mort !
