Lyrics and translation Bessie Smith - New Gulf Coast Blues
I
done
pack
my
belong
J'ai
fait
mes
bagages
Gonna
leave
my
woes
Je
vais
laisser
mes
soucis
Goin'
to
a
better
place
Je
vais
dans
un
endroit
meilleur
With
a
smile
upon
my
face
Avec
un
sourire
sur
mon
visage
When
that
steam
boat
blows
Quand
ce
bateau
à
vapeur
sifflera
And
that
gulf
stream
flows
Et
que
ce
courant
du
golfe
coulera
You'll
hear
me
say
goodbye
Tu
m'entendras
dire
au
revoir
Because
there's
a
reason
why
Parce
qu'il
y
a
une
raison
The
Gulf
of
Mexico
Le
golfe
du
Mexique
Flows
in
to
the
Mobile
Bay
Coule
dans
la
baie
de
Mobile
The
Gulf
of
Mexico
Le
golfe
du
Mexique
Flows
in
to
the
Mobile
Bay
Coule
dans
la
baie
de
Mobile
I'm
gonna
let
that
cool
stream
of
water
Je
vais
laisser
ce
courant
d'eau
frais
Flow
over
my
head
someday
Couler
sur
ma
tête
un
jour
Tell
me
mister
mailman
Dis-moi,
facteur
What
is
on
your
mind?
Qu'est-ce
qui
te
tracasse ?
Tell
me
mister
mailman
Dis-moi,
facteur
What
is
on
your
mind?
Qu'est-ce
qui
te
tracasse ?
If
you
pass
my
door
Si
tu
passes
devant
ma
porte
So
glad
you
obliged
Je
suis
contente
que
tu
sois
passé
My
eyes
are
brown
Mes
yeux
sont
marrons
My
teeth
are
pearly
white
Mes
dents
sont
blanches
comme
des
perles
My
eyes
are
brown
Mes
yeux
sont
marrons
My
teeth
are
pearly
white
Mes
dents
sont
blanches
comme
des
perles
Because
my
skin
is
dark
Parce
que
ma
peau
est
foncée
Don't
mean
my
heart
ain't
right
Cela
ne
veut
pas
dire
que
mon
cœur
n'est
pas
bon
