Lyrics and translation Bettye LaVette - Joy - Live at the Jazz Cafe London 15th July 2014
I
have
a
CD
called
'I've
got
my
own
hell
to
raise'
J'ai
un
CD
qui
s'appelle
"J'ai
mon
propre
enfer
à
déclencher"
All
of
the
songs
on
the
CD
were
written
by
women
Toutes
les
chansons
du
CD
ont
été
écrites
par
des
femmes
This
one,
by
the
only
young
woman
Celle-ci,
par
la
seule
jeune
femme
I
have
ever
met
whom
might
possibly
J'ai
jamais
rencontré
quelqu'un
qui
pourrait
peut-être
And
here
again
I
say,
'Might
possibly'
be
able
to
out-drink
me
Et
je
le
répète,
"pourrait
peut-être"
me
boire
sous
la
table
That
would
be
in
the
form
of
the
immensely
talented
Miss
Lucinda
Williams
Ce
serait
la
forme
de
l'immensément
talentueuse
Miss
Lucinda
Williams
Joy,
oh
my
joy,
I
don't
like
it
no
more,
'cause
they
took
my
joy
Joie,
oh
ma
joie,
je
ne
l'aime
plus,
parce
qu'ils
ont
pris
ma
joie
Don't
like
it
no
more,
'cause
they
took
my
joy
Je
ne
l'aime
plus,
parce
qu'ils
ont
pris
ma
joie
They
took
my
joy,
I
want
it
back
Ils
ont
pris
ma
joie,
je
la
veux
de
retour
They
took
my
joy,
I
want
it
back
Ils
ont
pris
ma
joie,
je
la
veux
de
retour
I
said
I
started
in
Detroit,
I
was
looking
for
my
joy
J'ai
dit
que
j'ai
commencé
à
Detroit,

joy
Peut-être

moteur,
je
trouverais
