Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Un Peu De Blues by Christophe Maé from French to English.

Tell me a bit what I'm good for

On this earth

I often ask myself the question

'Cause I can't do anything

Holy Mother

Is that a profession

So, so I dance and tinker

Two, three words by the water

Alright, and I patch up a few flats

Without knowing the true from the false

I add a little blues, a little soul

Two, three notes, a craving for happiness

A bit of soul and I catch fire

For a life in every color

Just a little blues, a little soul

I hum my notes and my moods

You, my love who comes along

From town to town, from heart to heart

I've never known how to walk straight

On this earth

I take winding paths

And I've often left the choice

Holy Mother

To learn to mess up

So, so I take my time

I give in to my dose of sun

Okay, and I fall asleep under the stars

On my lifeline I keep watch

I add a little blues, a little soul

Two, three notes, a craving for happiness

A bit of soul and I catch fire

For a life in every color

Just a little blues, a little soul

I hum my notes and my moods

You, my love who comes along

From town to town, from heart to heart

I don't roll on rails

I linger over the details

If you want

I've got my tricks and my strings

Brainy? no, not even handy

But I'd like, I'd like

Just a little blues, a little soul

Two, three notes, a craving for happiness

A bit of soul and I catch fire

For a life in every color

I don't roll on rails

I linger over the details

If you want it, you want it, no no no

I've got my tricks and my strings

Brainy? no, not even handy

But I'd like, I'd like

A little blues, and a little soul

Two, three notes, a craving for happiness

A bit of soul and I catch fire

For a life in every color

Outro

I put in blues, I put in soul

A bit of soul and I catch fire

From town to town, and from heart to heart

And with you, yes my love who comes along

For this life in every color

SONG MEANING

Have you ever looked up at the sky and wondered, “What exactly am I doing here?” That is the playful question Christophe Maé asks in Un Peu De Blues. Feeling neither scholarly nor handy, the French singer admits he has no grand plan, so he grabs the only tools he trusts — a guitar, a warm voice, and a bit of blues, a bit of soul. With every note he patches together his doubts and daydreams, turning them into a colourful soundtrack for anyone who has ever felt lost yet hopeful.

Instead of marching straight on polished rails, Maé prefers winding paths that let him linger on life’s tiny details. The song celebrates improvisation: embracing mistakes, soaking up sunshine, sleeping under the stars, and travelling “de ville en ville, de cœur en cœur” with the person you love. In short, Un Peu De Blues is a feel-good reminder that purpose is not a rigid destination but a melody you invent as you go — just mix some heart, a sprinkle of soul, and watch your world burst into every shade of happiness.
