Lyrics and translation Janis Joplin - Gospel Ship (live: Fall 1962: San Francisco, CA, USA)
I
got
good
news
to
bring
us,
and
that
is
why
I
sing
J'ai
de
bonnes
nouvelles
à
vous
apporter,
et
c'est
pourquoi
je
chante
My
joys
with
you
I'll
share
Je
partagerai
mes
joies
avec
toi
I'm
gonna
take
a
trip
in
that
old
gospel
ship
Je
vais
faire
un
voyage
sur
ce
vieux
navire
de
l'évangile
And
go
sailing
through
the
air
Et
naviguer
dans
les
airs
I'm
gonna
take
a
trip
in
that
old
gospel
ship
Je
vais
faire
un
voyage
sur
ce
vieux
navire
de
l'évangile
Going
far
beyond
the
sky
Aller
bien
au-delà
du
ciel
I'm
gonna
shout
and
sing
un'til
heaven
rings
Je
vais
crier
et
chanter
jusqu'à
ce
que
le
ciel
résonne
When
I
bid
this
world
goodbye
Quand
je
dirai
adieu
à
ce
monde
I
can
scarcely
wait,
I
know
I
won't
be
late
J'ai
à
peine
le
temps
d'attendre,
je
sais
que
je
ne
serai
pas
en
retard
I'll
spend
my
time
in
prayer
Je
passerai
mon
temps
à
prier
And
when
the
ship
comes
in,
I'll
leave
this
world
of
sin
Et
quand
le
navire
arrivera,
je
quitterai
ce
monde
de
péché
I'll
go
sailing
through
the
air
Je
vais
naviguer
dans
les
airs
I'm
gonna
take
a
trip
in
that
old
gospel
ship
Je

et
chanter
jusqu'à
ce
que
le
ciel
résonne
When
I
bid
this
world
goodbye
Quand
je
dirai
adieu
à
ce
monde
If
you
are
ashamed
of
me,
you
ought
not
to
be
Si
tu
as
honte
de
moi,
tu
ne
devrais
pas
l'être
You'd
better
have
a
care
Tu
ferais
mieux
de
faire
attention
If
too
much
fault
you
find,
you
will
sure
be
left
behind
Si
tu
trouves
trop
de
fautes,
tu
seras
certainement
laissé
pour
compte
While
I'm
sailing
through
the
air
Alors
que
je
navigue
dans
les
airs
I'm
gonna
take
a
