Toute la musique que j'aime [English translation]

All the music I love

comes from there, from the blues.

Words are never the same1

to express what blues is

There I put my joys and my sorrows

and it all becomes the blues.

I sing it as much as I love it

and I'll sing it forever more.

A long time ago, on guitars,

black hands gave birth to it

to sing of sorrows and hopes,

to sing of God and love too.

Music will stay alive as long as blues does

The blues means I love you

and it hurts like hell

I cry but I sing all the same,

this is my prayer to keep you (by my side)

All the music I love

comes from there, from the blues

Words are never the same

to express what blues is

Wow!

There I put my joys and my sorrows

and it all becomes the blues.

I sing it as much as I love it

and I'll sing it forever more.

A long time ago, on guitars,

black hands gave birth to it

to sing of sorrows and hopes,

to sing of God and love too.

All the music I love

comes from there, from the blues

Words are never the same

to express what blues is

1. the French is a bit awkward, the idea is "there are endless ways of expressing what blues is"
