Lyrics and translation Movie Soundtrack All Stars - The Devil Went Down to Georgia (From "Urban Cowboy")

The Devil Went Down to Georgia (From "Urban Cowboy")

Le diable est descendu en Géorgie (extrait de "Urban Cowboy")

The devil went down to Georgia

Le diable est descendu en Géorgie

He was lookin' for a soul to steal

Il cherchait une âme à voler

He was in a bind

Il était dans une mauvaise passe

'Cause he was way behind

Car il était très en retard

And he was willin' to make a deal

Et il était prêt à faire un marché

When he came upon this young man

Quand il est tombé sur ce jeune homme

Sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot

Qui jouait du violon et qui jouait fort

And the devil jumped

Et le diable a sauté

Up on a hickory stump

Sur une souche de noyer

And said, "boy, let me tell you what

Et a dit : "Jeune homme, laisse-moi te dire

I guess you didn't know it

Je suppose que tu ne le savais pas

But I'm a fiddle player too

Mais je suis aussi un joueur de violon

And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you

Et si tu veux relever le défi, je vais faire un pari avec toi

Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy

Tu joues très bien du violon, mon garçon

But give the devil his due

Mais il faut bien rendre à César ce qui est à César

I'll bet a fiddle of gold

Je parie un violon en or

Against your soul

Contre ton âme

'Cause I think I'm better than you"

Car je pense que je suis meilleur que toi"

The boy said, "my name's Johnny

Le garçon a dit : "Je m'appelle Johnny

And it might be a sin

Et ça pourrait être un péché

But I'll take your bet

Mais j'accepte ton pari

And you're gonna regret

Et tu vas le regretter

'Cause I'm the best there's ever been"

Car je suis le meilleur qui ait jamais existé"

Johnny, rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard

Johnny, frotte ton archet et joue fort de ton violon

'Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia, and the devil deals the cards

Car l'enfer se déchaîne en Géorgie, et le diable distribue les cartes

And if you win, you get this shiny fiddle made of gold

Et si tu gagnes, tu obtiens ce violon brillant fait d'or

But if you lose, the devil gets your soul

Mais si tu perds, le diable aura ton âme

The devil opened up his case

Le diable a ouvert sa boîte

And he said, "I'll start this show"

Et il a dit : "Je vais commencer ce spectacle"

And fire flew from his fingertips

Et le feu a jailli de ses doigts

As he rosined up his bow

Alors qu'il frottait son archet

Then he pulled the bow across the strings

Puis il a fait passer l'archet sur les cordes

And it made an evil hiss

Et ça a fait un sifflement maléfique

And a band of demons joined in

Et une bande de démons s'est jointe à lui

And it sounded something like this

Et ça ressemblait à ça

When the devil finished

Quand le diable a fini

Johnny said, "well, you're pretty good, old son

Johnny a dit : "Eh bien, tu es plutôt bon, vieux garçon

But sit down in that chair right there

Mais assieds-toi sur cette chaise juste là

And let me show you how it's done"

Et laisse-moi te montrer comment on fait"

Fire on the Mountain run boys, run

Le feu sur la montagne, courez, mes garçons, courez

The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun

Le diable est dans la maison du soleil levant

Chicken in a bread pan pickin' out dough

Le poulet dans un plat en pain, en train de ramasser de la pâte

Granny, does your dog bite? No child, no

Grand-mère, est-ce que ton chien mord ? Non, mon enfant, non

The devil bowed his head

Le diable a baissé la tête

Because he knew that he'd been beat

Car il savait qu'il avait été battu

And he laid that golden fiddle

Et il a posé ce violon d'or

On the ground at Johnny's feet

Au pied de Johnny

Johnny said, "Devil, just come on back

Johnny a dit : "Diable, reviens quand tu veux

If you ever want to try again

Si tu veux jamais réessayer

I done told you once you son of a bitch

Je te l'ai déjà dit, espèce de salaud

I'm the best that's ever been"

Je suis le meilleur qui ait jamais existé"

Fire on the Mountain run boys, run

Le feu sur la montagne, courez, mes garçons, courez

The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun

Le diable est dans la maison du soleil levant

Chicken in a bread pan pickin' out dough

Le poulet dans un plat en pain, en train de ramasser de la pâte

Granny, does your dog bite? No child, no

Grand-mère, est-ce que ton chien mord ? Non, mon enfant, non
