(Jean-Jacques Goldman)
"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 voix, de 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 là, j'ai compris
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
"His baby's far away"
J'ai des pardons, j'ai des prières
Mais l'blues c'est pas des phrases en l'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
"Oh, oh I feel, the blues in me
Nobody knows how I really feel
Nobody knows, nobody cares"
Les mots te brûlent un par un comme s'ils
Comme s'ils t'appartiennent enfin
Ces blues étaient les tiens
De toute ma voix, toute mon âme,
"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 deep inside of me baby
Nobody knows, the blues was pouring out of me baby
Nobody knows, nobody cares
Nobody, nobody, nobody"
I feel it, baby
"I woke up this morning baby,
The blues was pouring out of me"
A hundred times I said those words
Those words others had written
With all my voice, with all my soul
"With all the soul that I can"
The blues as I learnt it
"I woke up this morning baby"
But that morning, I understood
The hard work in the long cotton fields
I was imagining from my cocoon
The hits, the blood, the mud weather
I was hurt when I close my eyes
"His baby's far away"
I have forgivenesses, I have prayers
But the blues is not idle talk
"I woke up this morning baby"
But this morning you're really cold
You're understanding 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"
The words are burning you as if
As if they belong to you at last
Those blues were yours
With all my voice, with all my soul,
"With all the soul that I can"
The blues which nobody never taught me
"I woke up this morning, the blues was pouring deep inside of me baby
Nobody knows, the blues was pouring out of me baby
Nobody knows, nobody cares
Nobody, nobody, nobody"
I feel it, baby
