Lyrics and translation Merle Haggard & The Strangers - Kentucky Gambler




Kentucky Gambler
Le joueur du Kentucky
I wanted more from life, than four kids and a wife
Je voulais plus de la vie, que quatre enfants et une femme
And a job in a dark Kentucky mine
Et un travail dans une mine sombre du Kentucky
A twenty acre farm, with a shackey house and barn
Une ferme de vingt acres, avec une maison et une grange branlantes
Thats all I had and all I left behind.
C'est tout ce que j'avais et tout ce que j'ai laissé derrière moi.
But at gambling, I was lucky, and so I left Kentucky
Mais au jeu, j'avais de la chance, alors j'ai quitté le Kentucky
And left behind my woman and my kids
Et j'ai laissé derrière moi ma femme et mes enfants
Into the gay casinos, of Nevada's town of Reno
Dans les casinos joyeux de Reno, au Nevada
This Kentucky Gambler planned to get rich quick.
Ce joueur du Kentucky avait prévu de faire fortune rapidement.
Kentucky gambler who's going to love your woman in Kentucky
Joueur du Kentucky, qui va aimer ta femme au Kentucky
Yeah and who's going to be the one to give her all she needs
Oui, et qui va être celui qui lui donnera tout ce dont elle a besoin
Kentucky gambler, who's going to raise your children in Kentucky
Joueur du Kentucky, qui va élever tes enfants au Kentucky
And who's going to keep them fed and keep them shoes on their feet.
Et qui va les nourrir et leur fournir des chaussures aux pieds.
There at the gambler's Paradise, Lady luck was on my side
Là, au paradis des joueurs, la chance était de mon côté
And this Kentucky gambler played just right
Et ce joueur du Kentucky jouait juste
Hey, I wanted everything I played, I really thought I had it made
Hé, je voulais tout ce que je jouais, je pensais vraiment que j'avais tout ce qu'il fallait
But I should have quit and gone on home that night.
Mais j'aurais arrêter et rentrer à la maison cette nuit-là.
But when you love the green backed dollar, sorrow always bound to follow
Mais quand on aime le dollar vert, le chagrin est toujours pour suivre
And Reno's dreams fade into neon amber
Et les rêves de Reno s'estompent dans l'ambre néon
And Lady Luck, she'll lead you on, she'll stay a while, and then she's gone
Et la chance, elle te mène, elle reste un moment, puis elle s'en va
You better go on home, Kentucky gambler.
Tu ferais mieux de rentrer chez toi, joueur du Kentucky.
But a gambler never seems to stop till he loses all he's got
Mais un joueur ne semble jamais s'arrêter tant qu'il n'a pas tout perdu
And with a money-hungry fever, I played on
Et avec une fièvre avide d'argent, j'ai continué à jouer
I played till I'd lost all I'd won, I was right back where I'd started from
J'ai joué jusqu'à ce que j'aie perdu tout ce que j'avais gagné, j'étais de retour à mon point de départ
Then I started wanting to go home.
Puis j'ai commencé à vouloir rentrer à la maison.
Kentucky gambler, there ain't nobody, waiting in Kentucky
Joueur du Kentucky, il n'y a personne qui t'attend au Kentucky
When I ran out, somebody else walked in
Quand je suis parti, quelqu'un d'autre est entré
Kentucky gambler, looks like you ain't really very lucky
Joueur du Kentucky, on dirait que tu n'es pas vraiment très chanceux
And it seems to me a gambler loses much more than he wins.
Et il me semble qu'un joueur perd beaucoup plus qu'il ne gagne.
Much more than he wins.
Beaucoup plus qu'il ne gagne.
