Lyrics and translation Mahalia Jackson - The Green Leaves of Summer
A
time
to
be
reapin′a
time
to
be
sowin'
Le
temps
de
la
moisson,
le
temps
des
semailles
The
green
leaves
of
summer
are
calling
me
home
Les
feuilles
vertes
de
l'été
m'appellent
chez
moi
It
was
good
to
be
young
then
in
the
season
of
plenty
C'était
bon
d'être
jeune
alors,
en
saison
d'abondance
When
the
catfish
were
jumpin′
as
high
as
the
sky
Quand
les
poissons-chats
sautaient
aussi
haut
que
le
ciel
A
time
to
be
livin',
a
time
to
be
laughin'
Le
temps
de
vivre,
le
temps
de
rire
A
time
to
be
dreamin′
a
dream
of
your
own
Le
temps
de
rêver
un
rêve
à
soi
Was
so
good
to
be
young
then
to
be
close
to
the
earth
C'était
tellement
bon
d'être
jeune
alors,
d'être
près
de
la
terre
Now
the
green
leaves
of
summer
are
calling
me
home
Maintenant,
les
feuilles
vertes
de
l'été
m'appellent
chez
moi
(A
time
to
be
reapin′,
a
time
to
be
sowin')
(Le
temps
de
la
moisson,
le
temps
des
semailles)
(The
green
leaves
of
summer
are
callin′
me
home)
(Les
feuilles
vertes
de
l'été
m'appellent
chez
moi)
It
was
good
to
be
young
then
with
the
sweet
smell
of
of
apples
C'était
bon
d'être
jeune
alors,
avec
la
douce
odeur
des
pommes
And
the
owl
in
the
pine
tree
a-winkin'
his
eye
Et
le
hibou
dans
le
pin
qui
clignait
de
l'œil
(A
time
just
for
plantin′,
a
time
just
for
plowin')
(Le
temps
de
planter,
le
temps
de
labourer)
(A
time
just
for
livin′,
a
place
for
to
die)
(Le
temps
de
vivre,
un
lieu
pour
mourir)
T'was
so
good
to
be
young
then
to
be
learning
to
pray
C'était
tellement
bon
d'être
jeune
alors,
d'apprendre
à
prier
And
to
thank
the
great
maker
each
trouble
free
day
Et
de
remercier
le
grand
créateur
chaque
jour
sans
soucis

Put a Little Love In Your Heart
2 When the Saints Go Marching In
3 Walk In Jerusalem
4 Joshua Fit the Battle of Jericho
5 Then the Answer Came
6 It Is No Secret
7 The Upper Room
8 Nobody but Jesus
9 We Shall Overcome
10 Danny Boy
11 I Believe
12 Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen
13 The Green Leaves of Summer
14 Crying in the Chapel
15 Move On Up a Little Higher
16 Gom Tell It On the Mountain
17 Though You're Reeling and Rocking
18 Down By the Iverside
19 That's What He's Done for Me
20 Just Over the Hill
