God Bless the Child (1956) - Billie Holiday translation in French

God Bless the Child (1956)

Them that's got shall have
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible says and it still is news
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own, that's got his own

Yes the strong get smart
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own, that's got his own

Money, you've got lots of friends
They're crowding around your door
But when you're gone and spending ends
They don't come no more
Rich relations give crusts of bread and such
You can help yourself, but don't take too much
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own, that's got his own

Money you've got lots of friends
They're crowding around your door
But when you're gone and spending ends
They don't come no more
Rich relations give crusts of bread and such
You can help yourself, but don't take too much
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own, that's got his own

Here just don't worry about nothing cause he's got his own
Yes, he's got his own

Que Dieu bénisse l'enfant (1956)

Ceux qui ont auront
Ceux qui n'ont pas perdront
C'est ce que dit la Bible et c'est toujours d'actualité
Maman a peut-être, papa a peut-être
Mais que Dieu bénisse l'enfant qui a le sien, qui a le sien

Oui, les forts deviennent intelligents
Alors que les faibles s'effacent
Les poches vides ne font jamais l'affaire
Maman a peut-être, papa a peut-être
Mais que Dieu bénisse l'enfant qui a le sien, qui a le sien

L'argent, tu as beaucoup d'amis
Ils se pressent à ta porte
Mais quand tu es parti et que les dépenses cessent
Ils ne reviennent plus
Les riches parents donnent des croûtes de pain et autres
Tu peux t'aider, mais n'en prends pas trop
Maman a peut-être, papa a peut-être
Mais que Dieu bénisse l'enfant qui a le sien, qui a le sien

Mais que Dieu bénisse l'enfant qui a le sien, qui a le sien

Ici, ne t'inquiète de rien parce qu'il a le sien
Oui, il a le sien
