Lyrics and translation Lester Flatt feat. Earl Scruggs - The Good Things (Outweigh the Bad)
I've
been
sittin'
here
thinkin'
back
over
my
life
Je
suis
assis
ici
à
repenser
à
ma
vie
All
of
the
good
things
the
trouble
and
strife
À
toutes
les
bonnes
choses,
aux
difficultés
et
aux
luttes
Well
my
share
of
heartache
yes
so
many
I've
had
Eh
bien,
j'ai
eu
ma
part
de
chagrin,
oui,
j'en
ai
eu
beaucoup
But
I
still
think
the
good
things
outweigh
the
bad
Mais
je
pense
toujours
que
les
bonnes
choses
l'emportent
sur
les
mauvaises
Well
I've
rocked
my
babies
at
night
when
they
cried
Eh
bien,
j'ai
bercé
mes
bébés
la
nuit
quand
ils
pleuraient
I've
seen
the
teardrops
turn
into
smiles
J'ai
vu
les
larmes
se
transformer
en
sourires
And
that's
when
I
realize
all
the
bad
luck
I've
had
Et
c'est
à
ce
moment-là
que
je
réalise
toute
la
malchance
que
j'ai
eue
And
I
know
all
the
good
things
outweigh
the
bad
Et
je
sais
que
toutes
les
bonnes
choses
l'emportent
sur
les
mauvaises
Well
I
never
have
riches
no
money
to
spare
Eh
bien,
je
n'ai
jamais
eu
de
richesses,
pas
d'argent
à
perdre
Just
a
sharecropper's
wages
is
my
only
fare
Juste
le
salaire
d'un
métayer
est
mon
seul
moyen
de
subsistance
Yes
makin'
my
livin'
just
working
the
land
Oui,
je
gagne
ma
vie
en
travaillant
la
terre
But
I
still
think
the
good
things
outweigh
the
bad
Mais
je
pense
toujours
que
les
bonnes
choses
l'emportent
sur
les
mauvaises
Well
I've
rocked
my
babies...
Eh
bien,
j'ai
bercé
mes
bébés...
Yes
I've
worked
the
cotton
in
the
heat
of
the
day
Oui,
j'ai
travaillé
le
coton
dans
la
chaleur
du
jour
And
then
paid
the
landlord
nearly
all
that
I
made
Et
j'ai
ensuite
payé
au
propriétaire
presque
tout
ce
que
j'ai
gagné
Well
I've
seen
high
water
take
all
that
I
had
Eh
bien,
j'ai
vu
les
grandes
eaux
emporter
tout
ce
que
j'avais
But
I
still
think
the
good
things
outweigh
the
bad
Mais
je
pense
toujours
que
les
bonnes
choses
l'emportent
sur
les
mauvaises
Well
I've
rocked
my
babies...
Eh
bien,
j'ai
bercé
mes
bébés...
