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 ecrits

De toute ma voix, de toute mon ame
With all the soul that I can
Le blues comme on me l'a appris
I woke up this morning baby
Mais ce matin la, 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 prieres
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 ecrits 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 brulent un par un comme s'ils
Comme s'ils t'appartiennent enfin
Ces blues etaient 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 ame
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
