Lyrics and translation Louis Jordan - Nobody Knows You When You Are Down And Out




Nobody Knows You When You Are Down And Out
Personne ne te connaît quand tu es au fond du trou
I once lived the life of a millionaire
J'ai déjà vécu la vie d'un millionnaire
Spending my money I didn't care
J'ai dépensé mon argent sans me soucier
Always taking my friends out for a good time
J'emmenais toujours mes amis pour passer un bon moment
Buying champagne, gin and wine
Acheter du champagne, du gin et du vin
But just as soon as my dough got low
Mais dès que mon argent a baissé
I couldn't find a friend no place I go
Je n'ai trouvé aucun ami, nulle part aller
If I ever get my hands on a dollar again
Si jamais je mets la main sur un dollar à nouveau
I'm gonna squeeze it and squeeze it till the eagle grins
Je vais le serrer et le serrer jusqu'à ce que l'aigle sourit
Nobody wants you when you're down and out
Personne ne te veut quand tu es au fond du trou
In your pocket not one penny
Pas un sou dans ta poche
And your friends you haven't any
Et tu n'as plus d'amis
And soon as you get on your feet again
Et dès que tu te remets sur tes pieds
Everybody is your long lost friend
Tout le monde est ton ami perdu de vue
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
C'est assez étrange, sans aucun doute
But nobody wants you when you're down and out
Mais personne ne te veut quand tu es au fond du trou
You know folks, I once had a mansion
Tu sais chéri, j'avais autrefois un manoir
Sitting way up on the side of a hill
Assis tout en haut de la colline
I'd give champagne and caviar parties
J'organisais des fêtes au champagne et au caviar
Just for fun and to get a thrill
Juste pour le plaisir et pour avoir des sensations fortes
But the wrong folks made it in my town
Mais les mauvaises personnes ont fait irruption dans ma ville
They finally got in
Elles ont fini par rentrer
And now I can't muscle up enough money
Et maintenant je n'arrive pas à me faire assez d'argent
To buy a shot of gin
Pour acheter un verre de gin
But you know, if I ever get my hands on a dollar again
Mais tu sais, si jamais je mets la main sur un dollar à nouveau
I'm gonna squeeze it and squeeze it
Je vais le serrer et le serrer
And squeeze it till the eagle grins
Et le serrer jusqu'à ce que l'aigle sourit
It's mighty strange without a doubt
C'est assez étrange, sans aucun doute
But nobody wants you, nobody needs you
Mais personne ne te veut, personne n'a besoin de toi
Nobody wants you when you're down and out
Personne ne te veut quand tu es au fond du trou
