Lyrics and translation Blind Willie McTell - Sending Up My Timber
There's
a
dream
that
I
dreamed
J'ai
fait
un
rêve
Of
my
heavenly
home
De
mon
foyer
céleste
And
I
know
that
I'm
going
there
someday.
Lord
someday
Et
je
sais
que
j'irai
là-bas
un
jour.
Seigneur,
un
jour
It
may
be
morning,
night
or
noon
Ce
sera
peut-être
le
matin,
la
nuit
ou
le
midi
Lord
I
do
not
know
just
how
soon
Seigneur,
je
ne
sais
pas
quand
That's
why
I'm
sending
up
my
timber
everyday
C'est
pourquoi
j'envoie
mon
bois
vers
le
ciel
chaque
jour
There
a
great
consolation
Il
y
a
une
grande
consolation
For
our
heartache
and
pain
Pour
notre
chagrin
et
notre
douleur
If
you
just
send
up
some
timber
Si
tu
envoies
juste
un
peu
de
bois
Everyday
Chaque
jour
And
the
hope,
that
he
has
given
Et
l'espoir
qu'il
nous
a
donné
We
know
the
word
of
God
it
is
true
Nous
savons
que
la
parole
de
Dieu
est
vraie
Pretty
white
mansion,
waiting
there
for
you
Un
beau
manoir
blanc
t'attend
Oh
yes
I'm
sending
up
my
timber
Oh
oui,
j'envoie
mon
bois
vers
le
ciel
Up
to
heaven,
everyday
Chaque
jour
For
there's
a
mansion
Car
il
y
a
un
manoir
He
is
preparing
there
Qu'il
prépare
là-haut
Lord
for
me
Seigneur,
pour
moi
I
will
join
with
all
of
my
friends
Je
rejoindrai
tous
mes
amis
Who
have
gone
on
to
that
land
Qui
sont
partis
dans
ce
pays
That's
why
I'm
sending
up
my
timber
everyday
C'est
pourquoi
j'envoie
mon
bois
vers
le
ciel
chaque
jour
Jesus
died,
oh
yes
he
suffered
Jésus
est
mort,
oh
oui
il
a
souffert
For
you,
Lord
and
for
me
Pour
toi,
Seigneur,
et
pour
moi
So
that
my
soul
so
unworthy
Afin
que
mon
âme,
si
indigne
I
may
live
Puisse
vivre
To
see
that
morning,
night
or
noon
Pour
voir
ce
matin,
cette
nuit
ou
ce
midi
Lord
I
do
not
know
just
how
soon.
That's
why
I'm
sending
up
my
timber
every
day
Seigneur,
je
ne
sais
pas
quand.
C'est
pourquoi
j'envoie
mon
bois
vers
le
ciel
chaque
jour
Oh
yes
I'm
sending
up
my
timber
Oh
oui,
j'envoie

de
gloire
