Lyrics and translation Billie Holiday - God Bless the Child (Original)

God Bless the Child (Original)

Them that's got shall have
Them that's not shall lose
So the bible said 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 gets more
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
Crowding round the door
When you're gone, spending ends
They don't come no more
Rich relations give
Crust 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
(Repeat)
Mama may have, papa may have
But god bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
He just worry 'bout nothin'
Cause he's got his own
Yes he's got his own

Dieu bénisse l'enfant (Original)

Ceux qui ont auront
Ceux qui n'ont pas perdront
C'est ce que dit la Bible et c'est toujours d'actualité
Maman peut avoir, papa peut avoir
Mais Dieu bénisse l'enfant qui a le sien
Qui a le sien
Oui, les forts ont plus
Alors que les faibles s'estompent
Les poches vides ne valent jamais la peine
Maman peut avoir, papa peut avoir
Mais Dieu bénisse l'enfant qui a le sien
Qui a le sien
L'argent, tu as beaucoup d'amis
Qui se pressent à ta porte
Quand tu es parti, les dépenses cessent
Ils ne reviennent plus
Les riches parents donnent
Une croûte de pain et tout ça
Tu peux te servir
Mais n'en prends pas trop
Maman peut avoir, papa peut avoir
Mais Dieu bénisse l'enfant qui a le sien
Qui a le sien
(Répéter)
Maman peut avoir, papa peut avoir
Mais Dieu bénisse l'enfant qui a le sien
Qui a le sien
Il ne s'inquiète de rien
Parce qu'il a le sien
Oui, il a le sien
