Et si Guralnick était une chanson : Delta Blues
Poème pour le Mississippi et le Delta blues
Justine Coffin
Mississippi
I walk in the Delta blues moove this time
Want to go back to Mississippi
Going down from the brown river
In the cities where time is fixed
I feel like going home.
Come on
baby don't you want to go
We'll pass through the streets
Which their scaled houses
Their mosquito nets on windows
And squeaky doors.
On the road where the sundown
is made of fluorescent colors
when the rain will come
For maybe this time, take all away :
Floating houses, poor people more and more destitute
By the country.
I went through the Robert's trail
Find a stone behind the big old oak
But didn't see the dogs of hell
I went through the Robert's trail
At the crossroads in nowhere.
I went back to France
But scare I have no home
'Til the time still proceed
There's no future in Clarksdale
nothing but the past lively.
