Lyrics and translation Ray Charles - Greenbacks (Digitally Remastered)




Greenbacks (Digitally Remastered)
Greenbacks (Numériquement remasterisé)
As I was walking down the street last night
Alors que je marchais dans la rue hier soir
A pretty little girl came into sight
Une jolie petite fille est apparue à mes yeux
I bowed and smiled and asked her name
Je me suis incliné, j'ai souri et lui ai demandé son nom
She said, "Hold it bud, I don′t play that game"
Elle a dit : "Attends un peu, mon pote, je ne joue pas à ce jeu"
I reached in my pocket, and to her big surprise
J'ai plongé la main dans ma poche, et à sa grande surprise
There was Lincoln staring her dead in the eyes.
Lincoln la regardait droit dans les yeux.
On a greenback, greenback dollar bill
Sur un billet vert, un billet vert d'un dollar
Just a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll.
Juste un petit morceau de papier, recouvert de chlorophylle.
She looked at me with that familiar desire
Elle m'a regardé avec ce désir familier
Her eyes lit up like they were on fire
Ses yeux ont brillé comme s'ils étaient en feu
She said, "My name's Flo, and you′re on the right track,
Elle a dit : "Je m'appelle Flo, et tu es sur la bonne voie,
But look here, daddy, I wear furs on my back,
Mais écoute, chéri, je porte des fourrures sur le dos,
So if you want to have fun in this man's land,
Alors si tu veux t'amuser dans ce pays d'hommes,
Let Lincoln and Jackson start shaking hands."
Laisse Lincoln et Jackson se serrer la main."
On a greenback, greenback dollar bill
Sur un billet vert, un billet vert d'un dollar
Just a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll.
Juste un petit morceau de papier, recouvert de chlorophylle.
I didn't know what I was getting into
Je ne savais pas à quoi je m'attendais
But I popped Lincoln and Jackson, too
Mais j'ai sorti Lincoln et Jackson, aussi
I didn′t mind seeing them fade out of sight,
Je ne me suis pas soucié de les voir disparaître,
I just knew I′d have some fun last night
Je savais juste que je m'amuserais hier soir
Whenever you in town and looking for a thrill
Chaque fois que tu es en ville et que tu cherches des sensations fortes
If Lincoln can't get it, Jackson sure will.
Si Lincoln ne peut pas le faire, Jackson le fera certainement.
On a greenback, greenback dollar bill
Sur un billet vert, un billet vert d'un dollar
Just a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll.
Juste un petit morceau de papier, recouvert de chlorophylle.
We went to a nightspot where the lights were low
Nous sommes allés dans un night-club les lumières étaient basses
Dined and danced, and I was ready to go
Nous avons dîné et dansé, et j'étais prêt à partir
I got out of my seat, and when Flo arose,
Je me suis levé de mon siège, et quand Flo s'est levée,
She said, "Hold on daddy, while I powder my nose"
Elle a dit : "Attends un peu, chéri, pendant que je me poudre le nez"
I sat back down with a smiling face,
Je me suis rassis avec un sourire,
While she went down to the powder place.
Alors qu'elle descendait au lieu de la poudre.
With my greenback, greenback dollar bill
Avec mon billet vert, un billet vert d'un dollar
Just a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll.
Juste un petit morceau de papier, recouvert de chlorophylle.
The music stopped and the lights came on,
La musique s'est arrêtée et les lumières se sont allumées,
I looked around and saw I was all alone
J'ai regardé autour de moi et j'ai vu que j'étais tout seul
I didn′t know how long Flo had been gone
Je ne savais pas combien de temps Flo était partie
But a nose powder sure didn't take that long
Mais une poudre de nez ne prend pas autant de temps
I left the place with tears in my eyes
J'ai quitté l'endroit avec des larmes aux yeux
As I waved Lincoln and Jackson a last goodbye.
Alors que je faisais mes adieux à Lincoln et Jackson.
On a greenback, greenback dollar bill
Sur un billet vert, un billet vert d'un dollar
Just a little piece of paper, coated with chlorophyll.
Juste un petit morceau de papier, recouvert de chlorophylle.
