Lyrics and translation Ray Charles - Greenbacks (Single Version)
As
I
was
walking
down
the
street
last
night
La
nuit
dernière,
alors
que
je
marchais
dans
la
rue
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,
mon
pote,
je
ne
joue
pas
à
ce
jeu"
I
reached
in
my
pocket,
and
to
her
big
surprise
J'ai
fouillé
dans
ma
poche,
et
à
sa
grande
surprise
There
was
Lincoln
staring
her
dead
in
the
eyes
Lincoln
la
fixait
droit
dans
les
yeux
On
a
greenback,
greenback
dollar
bill
Sur
un
billet
vert,
un
billet
de
dollar
vert
Just
a
little
piece
of
paper,
coated
with
chlorophyll
Juste
un
petit
morceau
de
papier,
enduit
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
se
sont
illuminés
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,
mon
chéri,
je
porte
des
fourrures
sur
le
dos
So
if
you
want
to
have
fun
in
this
man's
land
Donc,
si
tu
veux
t'amuser
dans
ce
pays
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
de
dollar
vert
Just
a
little
piece
of
paper,
coated
with
chlorophyll
Juste
un
petit
morceau
de
papier,
enduit
de
chlorophylle
I
didn't
know
what
I
was
getting
into
Je
ne
savais
pas
dans
quoi
je
m'embarquais
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
Cela
ne
me
dérangeait
pas
de
les
voir
disparaître
I
just
knew
I'd
have
some
fun
last
night
Je
savais
juste
que
j'allais
m'amuser
la
nuit
dernière
Whenever
you
in
town
and
looking
for
a
thrill
Quand
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
à
coup
sûr
On
a
greenback,
greenback
dollar
bill
Sur
un
billet
vert,
un
billet
de
dollar
vert
Just
a
little
piece
of
paper,
coated
with
chlorophyll
Juste
un
petit
morceau
de
papier,
enduit
de
chlorophylle
We
went
to
a
nightspot
where
the
lights
were
low
Nous
sommes
allés
dans
un
night-club
où
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,
mon
chéri,
je
vais
me
poudrer
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
vestiaire
With
my
greenback,
greenback
dollar
bill
Avec
mon
billet
vert,
un
billet
de
dollar
vert
Just
a
little
piece
of
paper,
coated
with
chlorophyll
Juste
un
petit
morceau
de
papier,
enduit
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
depuis
combien
de
temps
Flo
était
partie
But
a
nose
powder
sure
didn't
take
that
long
Mais
une
poudre
pour
le
nez
ne
prend
pas
autant
de
temps
I
left
the
place
with
tears
in
my
eyes
J'ai
quitté
l'endroit
les
larmes
aux
yeux
As
I
waved
Lincoln
and
Jackson
a
last
goodbye
En
faisant
un
dernier
adieu
à
Lincoln
et
Jackson
