I asked my baby to come down
-ma chérie de descendre (au commissariat)
And help me go my bail
-payer ma caution
But, you know, the woman left me stranded, people
-m’a laissé “naufragé”/en rade, mes amis (ici)
Oh in the county jail
That's why that's why, that's why
Why my guitar sings the Blues
I'm gonna tell everybody the news,
-I’m going to
She makes my guitar sing the Blues...
elle fait/oblige ma guitare à chanter le blues
I saw a fella come to her door,
-a fellow = un type
And she answered it with a smile
It almost blew my mind, people,
-cela a failli me render fou
When she pulled down the blind
-elle a baissé les stores
Oh that's why, that's why you
Hear my guitar singin' the Blues
I really paid my dues people,
-j’ai payé le prix
Oh, the girl makes my guitar sing the Blues...
You know, I was hopin' my baby would
Come back and sing a different tune
-chanter un air different (changer de comportement)
But when I had a chance to ask her
-lorsque j’ai eu l’occasion de lui poser la question
People, she said, No, no time soon
-pas dans un avenir proche
That's why, that's why, that's why
You hear my guitar singin' the Blues
Sometimes I may sound a little bit confused,
-je peux sembler un peu confus
She makes my guitar sing the Blues...
You know, I thought I'd call my baby,
-je pensais telephoner à ma chérie
Because I’d been missing her so much since she(‘s) been gone -elle me manqu tellement depuis qu’elle est partie
And just when I thought she'd say, yes
They disconnected my telephone
Oh, That's why, that's why, that's why
Why you hear my guitar singin' the Blues
I wanna tell everybody the news,
She makes my guitar sing the Blues...
-I want to
