"Telecaster" a french blues Rock

[Jean Pierre]

come on, to change a little rock blues in French! ! PLEASE LISTEN TO  MY NEW VERSION IN THE LAST POST-----------------------------
it's a song by the French singer Francis Cabrel
I played it, not with a telecaster (I never had one, unfortunately  ) but with my Epiphone Les Paul

all others instruments with the guys from BIAB

French lyrics and traduction

je rêvais d'aventures

D'emprunter la voiture de mon père

D'aller traîner dans les bars

Sur le modèle Rock Star, Angleterre

J'rêvais de traverser la Manche

Accroché aux hanches de ma Telecaster

C'étaient des nuits toutes d'un bloc

À creuser dans le Rock and Roll mystère

Jusqu 'à trouver la note

Qui aurait mis tous mes potes d'équerre

Comme le noyé à la branche

Accroché au manche de ma Telecaster

 J'espérais qu'il reste une place de libre

Une heure de gloire   

 Quelque chose entre Gershwin et Mozart   

Des places il n'en restait aucune

J'suis parti jouer pour pas une thune et nowhere

Des c âbles pleins de bière

Et les amplis qui pèsent un enfer

Sur toutes les mauvaises planches

Accroché aux hanches   de ma Telecaster

 J'espérais qu'il reste une place de libre

Une heure de gloire   

 Quelque chose entre Hendrix et Mozart

Et puis j'ai croisé cette fille

Ça m'a fait l'effet d'une aiguille,  d'un éclair

J'ai  joué des tonnes de blues

Dans toutes les caves de Toulouse  pour lui plaire

Debout dans la lumière blanche

Accroché aux hanches de ma Telecaster

I dreamed of adventures
To borrow my father's car
To go hang out in bars
Based on the Rock Star model,.... England
I dreamed of crossing the Channel
Hanging on the hips of my Telecaster


They were all nights in one block
To dig into the Rock and Roll mystery
Until I find the note
Who would have put all my buddies OK?
Like the one drowned in the branch
Hanging from the handle of my Telecaster


 I was hoping there was still one free spot left.
An hour of glory     
 Something between Gershwin and Mozart   


There were no places left.
I went to play for no money and nowhere
Cables full of beer
And the amps that weigh a hell of a lot
On all the wrong boards
Hanging on the hips of my Telecaster


 I was hoping there was still one free spot left.
An hour of glory     
 Something between Hendrix and Mozart 


And then I met this girl
It felt like a needle, like a lightning bolt.
I played tons of blues
In all the cellars of Toulouse to please him
Standing in the white light
Hanging on the hips of my Telecaster

I've never heard any French Rock Blues but it absolutely rocks! A good one JP and the Epi LP sounds great. Thanks for the translating the lyric!

Bump because new version of this french rock

so that it is more lively, with correction of some false guitar notes due to the un-tunable following the bend (with melodyne)
