Lyrics and translation Bessie Smith - Gulf Coast Blues
I've
been
blue
all
day
J'ai
été
bleue
toute
la
journée
My
man's
gone
away
Mon
homme
est
parti
He
has
left
his
mama
cold
Il
a
laissé
sa
maman
dans
le
froid
For
another
gal,
I'm
told
Pour
une
autre
fille,
on
dit
I
tried
to
treat
him
kind
J'ai
essayé
de
le
traiter
gentiment
I
thought
he
would
be
mine
Je
pensais
qu'il
serait
à
moi
That
man
I
hate
to
lose
Cet
homme,
j'ai
horreur
de
le
perdre
That's
why
mama's
got
the
blues
C'est
pourquoi
maman
a
le
blues
The
man
I
love
he
has
done
left
this
town
L'homme
que
j'aime
a
quitté
cette
ville
The
man
I
love
he
has
done
left
this
town
L'homme
que
j'aime
a
quitté
cette
ville
And
if
it
keeps
on
snowing
Et
si
ça
continue
de
neiger
I
will
be
Gulf
Coast
bound
Je
vais
être
direction
la
Côte
du
Golfe
The
mail
man
passed
but
he
didn't
leave
no
news
Le
facteur
est
passé
mais
il
n'a
pas
apporté
de
nouvelles
The
mail
man
passed
but
he
didn't
leave
no
news
Le
facteur
est
passé
mais
il
n'a
pas
apporté
de
nouvelles
I'll
tell
the
world
he
left
me
with
those
Gulf
Coast
blues
Je
vais
dire
au
monde
qu'il
m'a
laissé
avec
ces
blues
de
la
Côte
du
Golfe
Some
of
you
men
sure
do
make
me
tired
Certains
d'entre
vous,
les
hommes,
vous
me
fatiguez
vraiment
Some
of
you
men

do
make
me
tired
Certains
d'entre
vous,
les
hommes,
vous
me
fatiguez
vraiment
You've
got
a
mouthful
of
"gimme"
Vous
avez
la
bouche
pleine
de
"donne-moi"
A
handful
of
"much
obliged"
Une
poignée
de
"merci
beaucoup"
