Translation of the song lyrics Et la voix d' Elvis - Eddy Mitchell

Et la voix d' Elvis (original)

Et la voix d’Elvis chantait «Good Rockin' tonight»
La voix d’Elvis chantait «Good Rockin' tonight»
Et pendant c’temps-là j’travaillais
Garçon de course au Crédit Lyonnais
Et la voix d’Elvis chantait «Good Rockin' tonight»
Et René Coty préparait son départ
Abandonnant à tout jamais le pouvoir
Le vieux James Dean était déjà mort
Mais Elvis Presley avait son disque d’or
Et la voix d’Elvis chantait «Good Rockin' tonight»
C'était le rock
C'était le rock
Rock
C'était le rock
C'était le rock
Et pour moi tout changeait
Car la voix d’Elvis chantait «Good Rockin' tonight»
La voix d’Elvis chantait «Good Rockin' tonight»
Et les Blousons Noirs brûlaient leurs dernières nuits
Avant de partir pour Alger Algérie
Et la voix d’Elvis chantait «Good Rockin' tonight»
Et Charles de Gaulle prenait le pouvoir
Promettant les mille et une nuits aux Pieds-Noirs
Et la Bastille en a tellement vu
Que l’on ne l’y reprendra jamais jamais plus
Et la voix d’Elvis chantait «Good Rockin' tonight»
C'était le rock, rock, rock, rock
C'était le rock, rock, rock, rock
Rock, rock, rock, rock
C'était le rock
C'était le rock
Et pour moi tout changeait

(translation)

And Elvis' voice was singing "Good Rockin' tonight"
Elvis' voice was singing "Good Rockin' tonight"
And during that time I was working
Errand boy at Credit Lyonnais
And Elvis' voice was singing "Good Rockin' tonight"
And René Coty was preparing his departure
Forever giving up the power
Old James Dean was already dead
But Elvis Presley had his gold record
And Elvis' voice was singing "Good Rockin' tonight"
It was the rock
It was the rock
Rock
It was the rock
It was the rock
And for me everything changed
'Cause Elvis' voice was singing "Good Rockin' tonight"
Elvis' voice was singing "Good Rockin' tonight"
And the Black Jackets were burning their last nights
Before leaving for Algiers Algeria
And Elvis' voice was singing "Good Rockin' tonight"
And Charles de Gaulle took over
Promising Arabian Nights to the Blackfoot
And the Bastille has seen so much
That we'll never take it back ever again
And Elvis' voice was singing "Good Rockin' tonight"
It was rock, rock, rock, rock
It was rock, rock, rock, rock
Rock, rock, rock, rock
It was the rock
It was the rock
And for me everything changed
