Lyrics and translation Clarence Williams - Organ Grinder Blues

Organ Grinder Blues

Organ grinder, organ grinder
Organ grinder, play that melody
Take your organ, grinder, and grind some more for me

Grind it north, grind it north
Grind it north, grind it east or west
But when you grind it slow, that's when I like it best

Organ grinder, organ grinder
You don't have to pass your hat around any more
'Cause you're just the grinder I've been waitin' for

Organ grinder, organ grinder
Your sweet music seems to ease my mind
It's not only your organ, but it's the way you grind

Organ grinder, organ grinder
Organ grinder, you've found that sweet lost chord
Start grindin', and grind your room and board

Organ grinder, organ grinder
Organ grinder, don't tell me you're through
'Cause if you want a little intermission
Then mama's gonna grind a while for you

Organ grinder, organ grinder
Organ grinder, I will give you anything you choose
If you'll just cure my organ, of those grinding blues

Organ Grinder Blues

Organ grinder, organ grinder
Organ grinder, joue cette mélodie
Prends ton orgue, broyeur, et broie encore pour moi

Broie-la vers le nord, broie-la vers le nord
Broie-la vers le nord, broie-la vers l'est ou vers l'ouest
Mais quand tu la broies lentement, c'est à ce moment-là que je l'aime le mieux

Organ grinder, organ grinder
Tu n'as plus besoin de passer ton chapeau
Parce que tu es juste le broyeur que j'attendais

Organ grinder, organ grinder
Ta douce musique semble apaiser mon esprit
Ce n'est pas seulement ton orgue, mais c'est la façon dont tu broies

Organ grinder, organ grinder
Organ grinder, tu as trouvé cet accord perdu
Commence à broyer, et broie ton gîte et couvert

Organ grinder, organ grinder
Organ grinder, ne me dis pas que tu as fini
Parce que si tu veux une petite pause
Alors maman va broyer un peu pour toi

Organ grinder, organ grinder
Organ grinder, je te donnerai tout ce que tu veux
Si tu veux juste guérir mon orgue, de ces blues broyants
