I Am Bound for the Promised Land - Hank Williamstranslation in French
On
Jordan's
stormy
banks
I
stand,
Sur
les
rives
orageuses
du
Jourdain,
je
me
tiens,
And
cast
a
wishful
eye
Et
je
porte
un
regard
désireux
To
Canaan's
fair
and
happy
land,
Vers
la
terre
juste
et
heureuse
de
Canaan,
Where
my
possessions
lie.
Où
mes
biens
se
trouvent.
I
am
bound
for
the
promised
land,
Je
suis
destiné
pour
la
Terre
promise,
I

go
with
me?
Oh,
qui
viendra
et
ira
avec
moi
?
I
am
bound
for
the
promised
land.
Je
suis
destiné
pour
la
Terre
promise.
O'er
all
those
wide
extended
plains
Sur
toutes
ces
vastes
plaines
Shines
one
eternal
day;
Brille
un
jour
éternel
;
There
God
the
Son
forever
reigns,
Là,
Dieu
le
Fils
règne
à
jamais,
And
scatters
night
away.
Et
disperse
la
nuit.

Terre
promise,

No
chilling
winds
or
poisonous
breath
Aucun
vent
glacial
ou
souffle
empoisonné
Can
reach
that
healthful
shore;
Ne
peut
atteindre
ce
rivage
sain
;
Sickness
and
sorrow,
pain
and
death,
La
maladie
et
le
chagrin,
la
douleur
et
la
mort,
Are
felt
and
feared
no
more.
Ne
sont
plus
ressentis
ni
craints.

with
me?

qui
viendra
et
ira
avec
moi
?
I
am
bound
for
the
promised
land.
Je
suis
destiné
pour
la
Terre
promise.
When
I
shall
reach
that
happy
place,
Quand
j'atteindrai
cette
terre
heureuse,
I'll
be
forever
blessed,
Je
serai
béni
à
jamais,
For
I
shall
see
my
Father's
face,
Car
je
verrai
le
visage
de
mon
Père,
And
in
His
bosom
rest.
Et
je
me
reposerai
dans
son
sein.
