Exhortation - Paul Robesontranslation in French




Exhortation
Exhortation
Emember! if a brother smote thee on the left cheek
Souviens-toi ! Si un frère t'a frappé sur la joue gauche
Turn round and hand him the other
Retourne-toi et tends-lui l'autre
For if you can't 'turn good for evil
Car si tu ne peux pas 'rendre le bien pour le mal'
What's the good of bein' a brother
A quoi bon être un frère
Sez when the angry passions rises within thee
Dis quand les passions en colère montent en toi
Say "Satan-go get thee behind me!"
Dis "Satan - va-t'en derrière moi !"
Then stop and count a hundred
Ensuite, arrête-toi et compte jusqu'à cent
Then go about your business.
Puis vaque à tes occupations.
Be careful, be cautious, always look before you leap
Sois prudent, sois attentif, regarde toujours avant de sauter
Be sure you do some prayin', before you goes to sleep
Assure-toi de prier avant de t'endormir
To fight is wrong, it's wrong to fight
Se battre est mal, c'est mal de se battre
And no two wrongs can't make a one right
Et deux torts ne peuvent pas faire un bien
So try and be right unto the end
Alors essaie d'être juste jusqu'à la fin
That's right all right amen amen!
C'est bien, c'est bien, amen, amen !
That's right all right amen!
C'est bien, c'est bien, amen !
A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-amen!
A-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-amen !
