"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 écrits

De toute ma voixde toute mon âme

"with all the soul that I can"

Le blues comme on me l'a appris

"i woke up this morning baby"

Mais ce matin làj'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 voicewith all my soul

"with all the soul that I can"

The blues like I learned it

"i woke up this morning baby"

But that morningI understood.

La peine aux longs champs de coton

J'imaginais de mon cocon

Les coupsle sangles temps boueux

J'avais mal en fermant les yeux



The hard work in the cotton fields

I was imagining in my cocoon

The hitsthe bloodthe mud weather

I was hurt while closing my eyes

"his baby's far away"

J'ai des pardonsj'ai des prières

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



"his baby's far away"

I have forgivesI 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 écrits 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

"ohoh I feelthe blues in me

Nobody knows how I really feel

Nobody knowsnobody cares"

Les mots te brûlent un par un comme s'ils

Comme s'ils t'appartiennent enfin

Ces blues étaient les tiens



"ohoh I feelthe blues in me

Nobody knows how I really feel

Nobody knowsnobody cares"

Words are burning your one by one like if

Like if they are finally yours

Those blues were yours

De toute ma voixtoute mon âme"with all the soul that I can"

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

"i woke up this morningthe blues was pouring out of me

Nobody knowsnobody sees"



With all my voiceall my soul"with all the soul that I can"

The blues I was never taught

"i woke up this morningthe blues was pouring out of me

Nobody knowsnobody sees"
