Lyrics of Pauvre blues - Hélène

Pauvre blues (original)

C'était un pauvre garçon
Dans une pauvre maison
Et dans sa pauvre vie
Il n’avait qu’une pauvre chanson
Juste un pauvre blues
Juste un pauvre blues
Le seul ami, le seul compagnon de sa vie
C'était ce pauvre blues
Sur sa pauvre guitare
Il jouait tous les soirs
Les pauvres harmonies
Et il chantait son pauvre espoir
Juste un pauvre blues
Juste un pauvre blues
Et toutes les nuits le pauvre garçon jouait
jouait
Son pauvre blues
Par une pauvre nuit
Vint une pauvre fille
Qui voulait bien partager son pauvre blues
Avec lui
Juste un pauvre blues
Juste un pauvre blues
Mais un pauvre matin
Elle quitta son chemin
Il se retrouva tout seul
Avec son pauvre chagrin
Et son pauvre blues
Juste un pauvre blues
Et il comprit que toute sa vie
Ne serait jamais qu’un pauvre blues

(translation)

He was a poor boy
In a poor house
And in his poor life
He only had a poor song
Just a poor blues
Just a poor blues
The only friend, the only companion of his life
It was that poor blues
On his poor guitar
He played every night
The poor harmonies
And he sang of his poor hope
Just a poor blues
Just a poor blues
And every night the poor boy played
was playing
His poor blues
One poor night
Came a poor girl
Who wanted to share his poor blues
With him
Just a poor blues
Just a poor blues
But one poor morning
She left her way
He found himself all alone
With her poor sorrow
And his poor blues
Just a poor blues
And he understood that all his life
Would never be just poor blues
