Lyrics and translation Bill Monroe - You're Drifting Away

You're Drifting Away

All your life you've lived a sinner, the bright way you've never trod
You're drifting away (you're drifting away), you're drifting away
When you come to cross the river and you haven't met with God
You're drifting away (you're drifting away), you're drifting away

You're drifting away (you're drifting away)
You're drifting away (you're drifting away)
On down the dark river, I'm sorry to say
You're drifting away (you're drifting away)
You're drifting away (you're drifting away)
Don't wait too long to let Jesus hear you pray

You won't give up your earthly treasures to enter the promised land
You're drifting away (you're drifting away), you're drifting away
You can hear Jesus callin' but you won't accept His hand
You're drifting away (you're drifting away), you're drifting away

You're drifting away (you're drifting away)
You're drifting away (you're drifting away)
On down the dark river, I'm sorry to say
You're drifting away (you're drifting away)
You're drifting away (you're drifting away)
Don't wait too long to let Jesus hear you pray

When you come to cross the river Jesus won't give the command
You're drifting away (you're drifting away), you're drifting away
And that dark rollin' river takes you to the sinkin' sand
You're drifting away (you're drifting away), you're drifting away

You're drifting away (you're drifting away)
You're drifting away (you're drifting away)
On down the dark river, I'm sorry to say
You're drifting away (you're drifting away)
You're drifting away (you're drifting away)
Don't wait too long to let Jesus hear you pray

Tu t'éloignes

Toute ta vie, tu as vécu comme une pécheresse, tu n'as jamais marché sur la voie brillante
Tu t'éloignes (tu t'éloignes), tu t'éloignes
Quand tu arriveras à la rivière et que tu n'auras pas rencontré Dieu
Tu t'éloignes (tu t'éloignes), tu t'éloignes

Tu t'éloignes (tu t'éloignes)
Tu t'éloignes (tu t'éloignes)
En descendant la rivière sombre, je suis désolé de le dire
Tu t'éloignes (tu t'éloignes)
Tu t'éloignes (tu t'éloignes)
N'attends pas trop longtemps pour laisser Jésus entendre ta prière

Tu ne renonceras pas à tes trésors terrestres pour entrer dans la terre promise
Tu t'éloignes (tu t'éloignes), tu t'éloignes
Tu peux entendre Jésus t'appeler mais tu ne veux pas accepter sa main
Tu t'éloignes (tu t'éloignes), tu t'éloignes

Tu t'éloignes (tu t'éloignes)
Tu t'éloignes (tu t'éloignes)
En descendant la rivière sombre, je suis désolé de le dire
Tu t'éloignes (tu t'éloignes)
Tu t'éloignes (tu t'éloignes)
N'attends pas trop longtemps pour laisser Jésus entendre ta prière

Quand tu arriveras à la rivière, Jésus ne donnera pas l'ordre
Tu t'éloignes (tu t'éloignes), tu t'éloignes
Et cette sombre rivière qui roule t'emmène dans le sable qui s'enfonce
Tu t'éloignes (tu t'éloignes), tu t'éloignes

Tu t'éloignes (tu t'éloignes)
Tu t'éloignes (tu t'éloignes)
En descendant la rivière sombre, je suis désolé de le dire
Tu t'éloignes (tu t'éloignes)
Tu t'éloignes (tu t'éloignes)
N'attends pas trop longtemps pour laisser Jésus entendre ta prière
