Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
Nobody knows my sorrow
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
Glory hallelujah!
Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down
Oh, yes, Lord
Sometimes I'm almost to the ground
Oh, yes, Lord
Although you see me going 'long so
Oh, yes, Lord
I have my trials here below
Oh, yes, Lord
If you get there before I do
Oh, yes, Lord
Tell all-a my friends I'm coming to Heaven!
Oh, yes, Lord
Nobody knows my sorrow
Nobody knows the trouble I've seen
Glory hallelujah!
Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down
Oh, yes, Lord
Sometimes I'm almost to the ground
Oh, yes, Lord
Although you see me going 'long so
Oh, yes, Lord
I have my trials here below
Oh, yes, Lord
If you get there before I do
Oh, yes, Lord
Tell all-a my friends I'm coming to Heaven!
Oh, yes, Lord

Ah, le trouble en moi... Il est toujours intéressant d'aller voir d'autres versions de cette chanson et particulièrement, la parodie qu'en tira Marco Valdo M.I. et qui se trouve ici même sous le titre : Ode à Jésus : Personne ne connaît ma joie.
Au fait, c'était en 2016. Jésus existe toujours, il ronronne encore et se balade avec insouciance dans le jardin. Alelouya ! Ya !

La prima incisione è del 1925 ad opera della contralto nera Marian Anderson (1897-1993), voce oggi purtroppo abbastanza dimenticata ma che è stata una delle cantanti più intense del XX secolo.
Notevoli pure le interpretazioni successive di Paul Robeson, Louis Armstrong, Sam Cooke, Lena Horne e Josh White
Molti compositori classici afroamericani – come Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Henry Thacker Burleigh e James Rosamond Johnson - si sono cimentati nell’arrangiamento musicale del brano.
I Fisk Jubilee Singers – famoso gruppo vocale nero di fine 800 – avevano in repertorio una versione con testo e musica parzialmente differenti da quelli tradizionali intitolata “Nobody Knows the Trouble I See”, dove la pena e la fatica dei neri erano attuali, appartenenti al presente e non al passato.
In alcune versioni il secondo verso “Nobody knows my sorrow” cambia in “Nobody knows but Jesus”.
