Lyrics and translation Duke Ellington & His Orchestra - Come Sunday (a cappella)
Ooh
Oh
Lord,
dear
Lord
above,
God
almighty,
Mon
Dieu,
mon
cher
Dieu
d'en
haut,
Dieu
tout-puissant,
God
of
love,
please
look
down
and
see
my
people
through.
Dieu
d'amour,
s'il
te
plaît,
regarde
et
veille
sur
mon
peuple.
I
believe
that
God
put
sun
and
moon
up
in
the
sky.
Je
crois
que
Dieu
a
placé
le
soleil
et
la
lune
dans
le
ciel.
I
don't
mind
the
gray
skies
Je
ne
me
soucie
pas
des
ciels
gris
'Cause
they're
just
clouds
passing
by.
Parce
que
ce
ne
sont
que
des
nuages
qui
passent.
Heaven
is
a
goodness
time.
Le
paradis
est
un
temps
de
bonté.
A
brighter
light
on
high.
Une
lumière
plus
brillante
en
haut.
Do
unto
others
as
you
would
have
them
do
to
you.
Fais
aux
autres
ce
que
tu
voudrais
qu'ils
te
fassent.
And
have
a
brighter
by
and
by.
Et
aie
un
meilleur
avenir.
Lord,
dear

Dieu,
mon
cher
Dieu
d'en
haut,
Dieu
tout-puissant,
God
of

I
believe
God
is
now,
was
then
and
always
will
be.
Je
crois
que
Dieu
est
maintenant,
était
alors
et
sera
toujours.
With
God's
blessing
we
can
make
it
through
eternity.
Avec
la

de
Dieu,
nous
pouvons
traverser
l'éternité.
