Lyrics and translation Hank Williams - When God Comes And Gathers His Jewels - Single Version

When God Comes And Gathers His Jewels - Single Version

The ceremony was over
A lad stood alone in tears
For he had just said goodbye
To the one he had loved thru the years.
He stood all alone with his head bowed down
As though his heart would break
Then the Parson came over and took his hand
And to him these words he did say.
When God comes and gathers his jewels
All his treasures of diamonds and gold
You'll meet her up there in heaven so fair
When God comes and gathers his jewels.
Each night when the pale moon is shining
You can see this lad all alone
With his eyes lifted to'ard heaven
He's repeating these words he was told.

Quand Dieu viendra rassembler ses joyaux - Version single

La cérémonie était terminée
Un jeune homme se tenait seul en larmes
Car il venait de faire ses adieux
À celle qu'il avait aimée pendant des années.
Il se tenait tout seul, la tête baissée
Comme si son cœur allait se briser
Puis le pasteur s'est approché et lui a pris la main
Et lui a dit ces mots.
Quand Dieu viendra rassembler ses joyaux
Tous ses trésors de diamants et d'or
Tu la retrouveras là-haut au ciel si beau
Quand Dieu viendra rassembler ses joyaux.
Chaque nuit, lorsque la pâle lune brille
Tu peux voir ce jeune homme tout seul
Les yeux levés vers le ciel
Il répète ces mots qu'on lui a dits.
