Otis Redding - lyrics with translation

Otis Redding was an American singer, songwriter, producer, and arranger, born in 1941 in the United States. A recognized classic of soul music, he became a defining figure in the genre during the 1960s. Tragically, his life was cut short in a plane crash at the age of 26. Redding's posthumous hit, "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay", became the first song to top the Billboard Hot 100 after the artist's death. His contributions to R&B and soul music continue to influence artists worldwide.
