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.
(Substitute I'll meet her... on last)

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.

When God comes and gathers his jewels
All his treasures of diamonds and [gold
I'll meet her up there in heaven so fair
When God comes and gathers his jewels.

Quand Dieu viendra rassembler ses joyaux - Version simple

La cérémonie était terminée
Un jeune homme était seul, les larmes aux yeux
Car il venait de faire ses adieux
À celle qu'il avait aimée pendant des années

Il était là, seul, la tête baissée
Comme si son cœur allait se briser
Puis le pasteur s'est approché et lui a pris la main
Et il 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 paradis si beau
Quand Dieu viendra rassembler ses joyaux.
(Remplace I'll meet her... sur le dernier)

Chaque nuit, quand la pâle lune brille
Tu peux voir ce jeune homme tout seul
Les yeux levés vers le ciel
Il répète ces paroles qu'on lui a dites.

Quand Dieu viendra rassembler ses joyaux
Tous ses trésors de diamants et d'[or
Je la retrouverai là-haut au paradis si beau
Quand Dieu viendra rassembler ses joyaux.
