Billie Holiday, born Eleanora Fagan (1915 - 1959) was an American jazz singer and songwriter. Nicknamed "Lady Day" by her friend and musical partner Lester Young. Holiday was a seminal influence on jazz and pop singing. Her vocal style, strongly inspired by jazz instrumentalists, pioneered a new way of manipulating phrasing and tempo. Above all, she was admired worldwide for her deeply personal, intimate approach to singing.
Critic John Bush wrote that she "changed the art of American pop vocals forever". She co-wrote only a few songs, but several of them have become jazz standards, notably "God Bless the Child", "Don't Explain", "Fine and Mellow", and "Lady Sings the Blues". She also became famous for singing jazz standards including "Easy Living", "Good Morning Heartache", and "Strange Fruit".

Lady Sings the Blues
Lady sings the blues
She's got them bad
She feels so sad
And wants the world to know
Just what the blues is all about
Lady sings the blues
She tells her side
Nothing to hide
Now the world will know
Just what the blues is all about
The blues ain't nothing but a pain in your heart
When you get a bad start
When you and your man have to part
I ain't gonna just sit around and cry
I know I won't die
'Cause I love him
Lady sings the blues
I'm telling you
She's got them bad
But now the world will know
She's never gonna sing them no more
'Cause the blues ain't nothing but a pain in your heart
When you get a bad start
When you and your man have to part
Ain't gonna just sit around and cry
I know I won't die
'Cause I love him
Lady sings the blues
I'm telling you
She's got them bad
But now the world will know
She's never gonna sing them no more, no more
Lady Sings the Blues - Billie Holiday
ترجمه به فارسی:
بانو آواز می خونه – بیلی هالیدی
بانو آواز می خونه
اون از آواز رنج می بره
اون احساس خیلی بدی داره
و می خواد دنیا بدونه
که آوازش درباره ی چیه
بانو آواز می خونه
اون داستان خودشو میگه
چیزی پنهان نیست
حالا دنیا می دونه
که آوازش درباره ی چیه
آواز چیزی نیست جز دردی که توی قلبه
وقتی تو بد شروع می کنی
وقتی تو و همسرت باید جدا بشین
نمی خوام فقط یه گوشه بشینم و گریه کنم
می دونم که دروغ نمی گم
چون عاشقشم
بانو آواز می خونه
دارم بهت می گم
اون از آواز رنج می بره
اما حالا دنیا می دونه
اون هیچوقت دیگه اون آوازو نمی خونه
چون آواز چیزی نیست جز دردی که توی قلبه
وقتی تو بد شروع می کنی
وقتی تو و همسرت باید جدا بشین
نمی خوام فقط یه گوشه بشینم و گریه کنم
می دونم که دروغ نمی گم
چون عاشقشم
بانو آواز می خونه
دارم بهت می گم
اون از آواز رنج می بره
اما حالا دنیا می دونه
اون هیچوقت دیگه اون آوازو نمی خونه، هیچوقت
