Janis Lyn Joplin, nacida en Port Arthur, Texas en 1943, fue una cantante estadounidense de rock and roll y blues caracterizada por su poderosa voz y su espíritu rebelde.
Fue un símbolo femenino de la contracultura de los 60 y el movimiento hippie y la primera mujer en ser considerada una gran estrella del rock and roll.
En 1969 actuó con enorme éxito en el festival de Woodstock, dónde realizó dos repeticiones de Ball And Chain y Piece of my heart que ofrecemos aquí.
Didn't i make you feel like you were the only man, yeah,
an' didn't i give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can ?
honey, you know i did!
and each time i tell myself that i, well i've just had enough,
but i'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.
I said come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
take another little piece of my heart now, baby,
break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah.
hey! have another little piece of my heart now, baby, yeah.
you know you got it if it makes you feel good,
oh yes indeed.

You're out on the street looking good, honey,
deep down in your heart i said you know that it ain't right,
never never never never never never hear me when i cry at night.
honey, i cry all the time!
and each time i tell myself that i, well i can't stand the pain,
but when you hold me in your arms, i'll sing it once again.
I'll say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it!
take another little piece of my heart now, baby.
break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah,
have another little piece of my heart now, baby, yeah.
you know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good ¡ª hey!

Now come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
take another little piece of my heart now, baby.
