"I woke up this morning, the blues was pouring out of me
Those words others wrote
But this morning you're really cold
Nobody knows how I really feel
Ces mots que d'autres avaient ecrits
"Oh, oh I feel, the blues in me
Tous les blues sont ecrits pour toi
The blues I was never taught
"I woke up this morning baby"
Cent fois ces mots je les ai dits
A hundred times I said those words
De toute ma voix, toute mon ame, "with all the soul that I can"
Mais l'blues c'est pas des phrases en l'air
But that morning, I understood
Tu comprends du fond de ta poitrine
Nobody knows how I really feel
"With all the soul that I can"
Comme s'ils t'appartiennent enfin
I was hurt while closing my eyes
Nobody knows, nobody cares"
But the blues isn't sentences you throw in the air
"I woke up this morning, the blues was pouring out of me
J'ai des pardons, j'ai des prieres
J'avais mal en fermant les yeux
Le blues comme on me l'a appris
"I woke up this morning baby"
The hard work in the cotton fields
Mais ce matin t'as vraiment froid
The blues was pouring out of me"
With all my voice, with all my soul
Words are burning your one by one like if
All the blues are written for you
The blues like I learned it
I was imagining in my cocoon
"His baby's far away"
La peine aux longs champs de coton
Ces blues etaient les tiens
"With all the soul that I can"
The hits, the blood, the mud weather
"His baby's far away"
De toute ma voix, de toute mon ame
Nobody knows, nobody sees"
J'imaginais de mon cocon
Like if they are finally yours
"I woke up this morning baby"
"I woke up this morning baby"
Les mots te brulent un par un comme s'ils
You understand deep in your chest
Mais ce matin la, j'ai compris
I have forgives, I have prayers
Les coups, le sang, les temps boueux
Nobody knows, nobody cares"
Those blues were yours
"I woke up this morning baby
"Oh, oh I feel, the blues in me
Le blues qu'on n'm'a jamais appris
With all my voice, all my soul, "with all the soul that I can"
