"i woke up this morning baby,

The blues was pouring out of me"

Cent fois ces mots je les ai dits

Ces mots que d'autres avaient crits

De toute ma voix, de toute mon me

"with all the soul that i can"

Le blues comme on me l'a appris

"i woke up this morning baby"

Mais ce matin l, j'ai compris





"i woke up this morning baby,

The blues was pouring out of me"

A hundred times i said those words

Those words others wrote

With all my voice, with all my soul

"with all the soul that i can"

The blues like i learned it

"i woke up this morning baby"

But that morning, i understood.

La peine aux longs champs de coton

J'imaginais de mon cocon

Les coups, le sang, les temps boueux

J'avais mal en fermant les yeux





The hard work in the cotton fields

I was imagining in my cocoon

The hits, the blood, the mud weather

I was hurt while closing my eyes

"his baby's far away"

J'ai des pardons, j'ai des prires

Mais l'blues c'est pas des phrases en l'air





"his baby's far away"

I have forgives, i have prayers

But the blues isn't sentences you throw in the air

"i woke up this morning baby"

Mais ce matin t'as vraiment froid

Tu comprends du fond de ta poitrine

Tous les blues sont crits pour toi





"i woke up this morning baby"

But this morning you're really cold

You understand deep in your chest

All the blues are written for you

"oh, oh i feel, the blues in me

Nobody knows how i really feel

Nobody knows, nobody cares"

Les mots te brlent un par un comme s'ils

Comme s'ils t'appartiennent enfin

Ces blues taient les tiens





"oh, oh i feel, the blues in me

Nobody knows how i really feel

Nobody knows, nobody cares"

Words are burning your one by one like if

Like if they are finally yours

Those blues were yours

De toute ma voix, toute mon me, "with all the soul that i can"

Le blues qu'on n'm'a jamais appris

"i woke up this morning, the blues was pouring out of me

Nobody knows, nobody sees"





With all my voice, all my soul, "with all the soul that i can"

The blues i was never taught

"i woke up this morning, the blues was pouring out of me

Nobody knows, nobody sees"
