Lyrics and translation Jill Scott feat. Al Jarreau & George Benson - God Bless the Child

God Bless the Child

Them that′s got shall get, them that's not shall lose
So the Bible says and it still is news
Mama may have and papa may have
But God bless the child that′s got his own
That's got his own, that's got his own
Yes, the strong get more while the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don′t ever seem to make the grade
Mama may have, yes, and papa may have
But God bless the child that′s got his own
That's got his own, that′s got his own
Tell it like it is, Jill
When you've got money, you′ve got a lot of friends
Always hanging round the door
When you're money′s gone and the spending ends
They just don't come around any more
Rich relations give, crust of bread and such
You can help yourself but don't take too much
Mama may have and papa he may have
But God bless the child that′s got his own
That′s got his own, that's got his own
That′s got, that's got his own
That′s got his own, that's got his own
That′s got his own, that's got his own
That's got his own, that′s got his own

Dieu bénisse l'enfant

Ceux qui ont, recevront, ceux qui n'ont rien, perdront
C'est ce que dit la Bible et c'est toujours d'actualité
Maman peut avoir, papa peut avoir
Mais Dieu bénisse l'enfant qui a son propre
Qui a son propre, qui a son propre
Oui, les forts obtiennent plus tandis que les faibles s'effacent
Les poches vides ne semblent jamais faire la grade
Maman peut avoir, oui, et papa peut avoir
Mais Dieu bénisse l'enfant qui a son propre
Qui a son propre, qui a son propre
Dis-le comme c'est, Jill
Quand tu as de l'argent, tu as beaucoup d'amis
Toujours à traîner autour de la porte
Quand ton argent est parti et que les dépenses sont terminées
Ils ne reviennent tout simplement plus
Les riches relations donnent, une croûte de pain et autres
Tu peux t'aider toi-même mais ne prends pas trop
Maman peut avoir et papa peut avoir
Mais Dieu bénisse l'enfant qui a son propre
Qui a son propre, qui a son propre
Qui a, qui a son propre
Qui a son propre, qui a son propre
Qui a son propre, qui a son propre
Qui a son propre, qui a son propre
