Johnny was a schoolboy when he heard his first Beatle song,
Johnny était un écolier
'Love me do, ' I think it was. From there it didn't take him long.
Quand il a entendu pour la première fois une chanson des Beatles
Got himself a guitar, used to play every night,
Je crois que c'était Love Me Do
Now he's in a rock 'n' roll outfit,
A partir de ce moment il n'a pas attendu longtemps
Avant de se prendre une guitare
And everything's all right, don't you know?
Il jouait chaque nuit
Maintenant il est dans sa tenue rock'n'roll
Johnny told his mama, hey, 'Mama, I'm goin' away. I'm gonna hit the big
Et tout va bien
Time, gonna be a big star someday', Yeah.
Ne sais-tu pas ?
Mama came to the door with a teardrop in her eye.
Johnny said, 'Don't cry, mama, smile and wave good-bye'.
Johnny dit à sa mère
"Hé, Maman, je m'en vais loin
Don't you know, yeah yeah, Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
Je vais devenir célèbre
Don't you know, don't you know. Don't you know that you are
Un jour je serai une grande étoile"
A shooting star, And all the world will love you just as long,
Maman est venue à sa porte
As long as you are.
La larme à l'oeil
Johnny lui dit "Ne pleure pas, Maman,
Johnny made a record, Went straight up to number one,
Souris et fais-moi un au revoir de la main"
Suddenly everyone loved to hear him sing the song.
Ne sais-tu pas ?
Watching the world go by, surprising it goes so fast.
Johnny looked around him and said, 'Well, I made the big time at last'.
Ne sais-tu pas que tu es une étoile filante
Don't you know, don't you know, Don't you know that you are
Ne sais-tu pas
A shooting star,
Ne sais-tu pas
Don't you know, oh, yeah, Don't you know that you are
Ne sais-tu pas que tu es une étoile filante
A shooting star, yeah,
Et le monde entier t'aimera aussi longtemps
And all the world will love you just as long,
Aussi longtemps que tu le seras
As long as you are, a shooting star.
Don't you know that you are a shooting star, Don't you know, yeah,
Il fonça vers la première place
Don't you know that you are a shooting star, now,
Tout le monde aimait soudainement
And all the world will love you just as long, As long you are you.
L'entendre chanter sa chanson
En savourant le moment présent
Johnny died one night, died in his bed, Bottle of whiskey,
Le temps passe étonnamment vite
Sleeping tablets by his head. Johnny's life passed him by like a
Johnny regarda autour de lui et dit
Warm summer day, If you listen to the wind you can still hear him play
"Eh bien, je suis finalement arrivé en haut de l'affiche"
Oh oh oh, Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
Ne sais-tu pas ?
Don't you know, yeah, don't you know', Don't you know that
You are a shooting star,
Une étoile filante
Don't you know that you are a shooting star,
Ne sais-tu pas que tu es une étoile filante
Don't you, don't you,
Ne sais-tu pas
Don't you, don't you,
Ne sais-tu pas que tu es une étoile filante
Don't you know, don't you
Et le monde entier t'aimera aussi longtemps
Know, oh, yeah, you are,
Aussi longtemps que tu le seras
Yeah, a shooting star, yeah, oh
Oh oh oh oh...
Johnny est mort une nuit, mort dans son lit
Don't you, don't you know
Une bouteille de whisky, des somnifères près de la tête
That you are a shooting star,
La vie de Johnny lui sembla similaire à une chaude journée d'été
Don't you don't you know...
Si tu écoutes le vent souffler tu peux toujours l'entendre jouer
Ne sais-tu pas que tu es une étoile filante
Ne sais-tu pas que tu es une étoile filante.
