Lyrics and translation Lee Dorsey - God Must Have Blessed America

God Must Have Blessed America

Dieu a dû bénir l'Amérique

God must have blessed America

Dieu a dû bénir l'Amérique

For us to have so many many things

Pour que nous ayons tant de choses

We′ve got each and ev'ry kind

Nous avons tout ce qu'on peut trouver

All gathered at one time

Tout rassemblé en même temps

Say God must have blessed us all

Dis, Dieu a dû nous bénir tous

Say Now,

Dis, maintenant,

We′ve got it all, we've got the good,

Nous avons tout, nous avons le bien,

We've got the bad

Nous avons le mal

And all the in betweens, we′ve got it all

Et tout ce qu'il y a entre les deux, nous avons tout

We′ve got the rich, we've got the poor

Nous avons les riches, nous avons les pauvres

And so much more

Et tellement plus

Yeah, we′ve got the muddy Mississippi running wild

Ouais, nous avons le Mississippi boueux qui coule à flots

And the prettiest women in the world

Et les plus belles femmes du monde

We've got the music sweeping through your mind

Nous avons la musique qui balaye ton esprit

We′ve done so much in such a little time

Nous avons fait tellement de choses en si peu de temps

We've got it all

Nous avons tout

We′ve got it all, yeah.

Nous avons tout, ouais.

We've got it all, we've got the north,

Nous avons tout, nous avons le nord,

We′ve got the south,

Nous avons le sud,

And all the games people play, we′ve got it all

Et tous les jeux que les gens jouent, nous avons tout

We've got New York, we′ve got L.A.

Nous avons New York, nous avons Los Angeles

And all along the way we've got

Et tout le long du chemin, nous avons

Banjos pluckin′ in the hills

Des banjos qui pincent dans les collines

We've got soul, folk, gettin down

Nous avons le soul, le folk, on descend

We′ve got the feeling of the whole wide world

Nous avons le sentiment du monde entier

We've got the dance, we've got the sound

Nous avons la danse, nous avons le son

We′ve got it all, we′ve got it all, yeah.

Nous avons tout, nous avons tout, ouais.
