Lyrics and translation Leroy Carr with Scrapper Blackwell - How Long, How Long Blues No. 3
How
long,
babe
how
long
Combien
de
temps,
chérie
combien
de
temps
Must
I
sing
my
lonesome
song
Dois-je
chanter
ma
chanson
de
solitude
How
long,
how
long,
baby
how
long?
Combien
de
temps,
combien
de
temps,
chérie
combien
de
temps?
I
have
been
waiting
J'attends
But
the
mail
man
leaves
no
mail
Mais
le
facteur
ne
laisse
pas
de
courrier
I'm
just
drifting
Je
dérive
Like
a
ship
without
a
sail
Comme
un
navire
sans
voile
For
how
long,
how
long,
baby
how
long?
Combien
de
temps,
combien
de
temps,
chérie
combien
de
temps?
Sometimes
I
think
you
love
me
Parfois
je
pense
que
tu
m'aimes
And
I
feel
so
glad
Et
je
me
sens
si
heureux
But
you
stay
away
baby
Mais
tu
restes
loin
chérie
And
then
I
feel
so
bad
Et
alors
je
me
sens
si
mal
For
how
long,
how
long,
baby
how
long?
Combien
de
temps,
combien
de
temps,
chérie
combien
de
temps?
I
guess
some
day
you'll
find
me
baby
Je
suppose
qu'un
jour
tu
me
trouveras
chérie
Six
feet
under
the
ground
Six
pieds
sous
terre
And
you'll
always
be
cross
you've
quit
me
Et
tu
seras
toujours
fâchée
de
m'avoir
quitté
For
I'll
have
my
face
turned
down
Car
j'aurai
le
visage
tourné
vers
le
bas
For
how
long,
how
long,
baby
how
long?
Combien
de
temps,
combien
de
temps,
chérie
combien
de
temps?
You
went
and
left
me
baby
Tu
es
partie
et
tu
m'as
laissé
chérie
And
I
do
the
best
I
can
Et
je
fais
de
mon
mieux
But
if
you
had
to
quit
me
Mais
si
tu
devais
me
quitter
Why
steal
some
other
woman's
man?
Pourquoi
voler
l'homme
d'une
autre
femme?
For
how
long,
how
long,
baby
how
long?
Combien
de
temps,
combien
de
temps,
chérie
combien
de
temps?
Last
night
I
heard
a
hound
dog
babe
Hier
soir
j'ai
entendu
un
chien
de
chasse
chérie
And
I
felt
so
blue
Et
je
me
sentais
si
triste
'Cause
I
dreamt
he
was
in
the
graveyard
Parce
que
j'ai
rêvé
qu'il
était
au
cimetière
Looking
down
at
you
Regardant
vers
le
bas
vers
toi
For
how
long,
how
long,
baby
how
long?
Combien
de
temps,
combien
de
temps,
chérie
combien
de
temps?
Sometimes
I
get
to
dreaming
Parfois
je
me
mets
à
rêver
That
you're
coming
back
Que
tu
reviens
And
I
go
down
to
the
station
Et
je
descends
à
la
gare
Stand
gazin'
up
the
track
Je
reste
à
regarder
les
rails
For
how
long,
how
long,
baby
how
long?
Combien
de
temps,
combien
de
temps,
chérie
combien
de
temps?
