Eddy Cochran, Buddy Holly, and Brassens traducción al Inglés

(Savior Adam)

I could have been called Tommy but I am Antoine Dupont.
I could have switched to English and hidden my accordion
While keeping my suspenders hidden under my poncho
In case the natural suddenly comes back at a gallop.

Eddie Cochran, Buddy Holly knew Baby Sue.
I knew Bernadette and Ginette and Marylou
Who didn't like "I Love You", oh no! No way
And their "I love you" was so sweet, so sweet, what do you want?

I could have equipped my acoustic guitar with a power station
And hide my pain behind the strands of my psychedelic hair
And sing rock and roll in French, on your knees.
It would have been much funnier, oh yes! But what do you want?

Eddie Cochran, Buddy Holly and Gene Vincent and so on
Are my brothers, my lights and may Brassens forgive me!
I wanted to sing Auvergne in French, on my knees
But the Auvergnat didn't understand, he swallowed his jewel.

This song is yours, yours Brassens who, without ceremony
Taught me its four chords when friends first had a good time.
It was only a three-step waltz but it rocked my fifteen years
And in my soul she still sings rock and roll.

Eddie Cochran, Buddy Holly knew Baby Sue.
I knew Bernadette and Ginette and Marylou
Who didn't like "I Love You", oh no! No way
And their "I love you" was so sweet, so sweet, what do you want?
