The Birth Of The Blues(original) |
Oh! |
they say some people long ago |
Were searching for a diff’rent tune, |
One that they could croon |
As only they can. |
They only had the rhythm so They started swaying to and fro. |
They didn’t know just what they had |
And that is how the blues really began: |
They heard the breeze in the trees |
Singing weird melodies |
And they made that |
The start of the blues. |
And from a jail came the wail |
Of a down hearted frail, |
And they played that |
As part of the blues. |
From a whippoorwill out on a hill, |
They took a new note, |
Pushed it through a horn |
'til it was born into a blue note. |
And then they nursed it, rehearsed it, |
And gave out the news |
That the southland |
Gave birth to the blues! |
(traducción) |
¡Vaya! |
Dicen algunas personas hace mucho tiempo |
estaban buscando una melodía diferente, |
Uno que podrían cantar |
Como solo ellos pueden. |
Solo tenían el ritmo, así que comenzaron a balancearse de un lado a otro. |
No sabían exactamente lo que tenían. |
Y así es como comenzó realmente el blues: |
Escucharon la brisa en los árboles |
Cantando melodías extrañas |
Y ellos hicieron eso |
El comienzo del blues. |
Y de una cárcel salió el lamento |
De un frágil corazón abatido, |
Y jugaron eso |
Como parte del blues. |
Desde un chotacabras en una colina, |
Tomaron una nueva nota, |
Lo empujó a través de un cuerno |
hasta que nació en una nota azul. |
Y luego lo cuidaron, lo ensayaron, |
Y dio la noticia |
que el sur |
Dio a luz al blues! |
