Lyrics and translation Ethel Waters - Down Home Blues
I
never
felt
Je
ne
me
suis
jamais
sentie
So
lonesome
before;
Si
seule
auparavant;
My
friend
has
quit
me;
Mon
ami
m'a
quittée;
He's
gone
for
sure;
Il
est
parti
pour
de
bon;
He
broke
my
heart,
Il
m'a
brisé
le
cœur,
For
I
loved
him
true;
Car
je
l'aimais
vraiment;
So
now
I'm
worried,
Alors
maintenant
je
suis
inquiète,
Lonesome
and
blue.
Seule
et
bleue.
I've
got
the
blues
on
my
mind,
J'ai
le
blues
dans
ma
tête,
And
I
just
feel
like
crying
all
the
time.
Et
j'ai
juste
envie
de
pleurer
tout
le
temps.
Woke
up
this
morning,
the
day
was
dawning,
Je
me
suis
réveillée
ce
matin,
le
jour
se
levait,
And
I
was
feeling
all
sad
and
blue,
Et
je
me
sentais
triste
et
bleue,
I
had
nobody
to
tell
my
troubles
to;
Je
n'avais
personne
à
qui
confier
mes
soucis;
I
felt
so
worried,
Je
me
sentais
si
inquiète,
I
didn't
know
what
to
do.
Je
ne
savais
pas
quoi
faire.
But
there's
no
use
in
grievin',
because
I'm
leavin',
Mais
il
n'y
a
pas
de
raison
de
pleurer,
car
je
pars,
I'm
broken-hearted
and
Dixie-bound;
J'ai
le
cœur
brisé
et
je
vais
au
sud;
I
been
mistreated,
ain't
got
no
time
to
lose.
J'ai
été
maltraitée,
je
n'ai
pas
de
temps
à
perdre.
My
train
is
leaving,
Mon
train
part,
And
I
got
the
down-home
blues.
Et
j'ai
le
blues
du
Sud.
