Lyrics and translation Bessie Smith - Shipwreck Blues
Captain,
tell
your
men
to
get
on
board
Capitaine,
dis
à
tes
hommes
de
monter
à
bord
I
sure
see
'em
just
pull
into
another
shore
Je
les
vois
arriver
sur
une
autre
rive
I'm
dreary
in
mind
and
I'm
so
worried
in
heart
Je
suis
triste
dans
mon
esprit
et
tellement
inquiète
dans
mon
cœur
Oh,
the
best
of
friends
sure
has
got
to
part
Oh,
les
meilleurs
amis
doivent
se
séparer
Blow
your
whistle
captain
Siffle
ton
sifflet,
capitaine
So
your
men'll
know
what
to
do
Pour
que
tes
hommes
sachent
quoi
faire
Blow
your
whistle
captain
Siffle
ton
sifflet,
capitaine
So
your
men'll
know
what
to
do
Pour
que
tes
hommes
sachent
quoi
faire
When
a
woman
gets
dreary
Quand
une
femme
est
triste
Ain't
no
tellin'
what
she
won't
do
On
ne
sait
pas
ce
qu'elle
peut
faire
It's
cloudy
outdoors
as
can
be
Il
fait
nuageux
dehors,
autant
que
possible
Oh,
it's
cloudy
as
can
be
Oh,
il
fait
nuageux
autant
que
possible
That's
the
time
I
need
my
good
man
with
me
C'est
à
ce
moment-là
que
j'ai
besoin
de
mon
homme
avec
moi
It's
rainin'
and
it's
stormin'
on
the
sea
Il
pleut
et
il
y
a
de
la
tempête
sur
la
mer
It's
rainin',
it's
stormin'
on
the
sea
Il
pleut,
il
y
a
de
la
tempête
sur
la
mer
I
feel
like
somebody
has
shipwrecked
poor
me
J'ai
l'impression
que
quelqu'un
m'a
fait
naufrage
