Lyrics and translation Stanley Turrentine - God Bless the Child

God Bless the Child

Them that's got shall get*
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible said and it still is news
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Yes, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't ever make the grade
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowding round the door
When you're gone, spending ends
They don't come no more
Rich relations give
Crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
Mama may have, Papa may have
But God bless the child that's got his own
That's got his own
He just worry 'bout nothin'
Cause he's got his own

Dieu bénisse l'enfant

Ceux qui ont auront*
Ceux qui n'ont rien perdront
Ainsi dit la Bible, et c'est toujours d'actualité
Maman a peut-être, Papa a peut-être
Mais Dieu bénisse l'enfant qui a le sien
Qui a le sien
Oui, le fort reçoit plus
Alors que les faibles s'éteignent
Les poches vides ne font jamais l'affaire
Maman a peut-être, Papa a peut-être
Mais Dieu bénisse l'enfant qui a le sien
Qui a le sien
L'argent, tu as beaucoup d'amis
Se pressant autour de ta porte
Quand tu es parti, les dépenses cessent
Ils ne reviennent plus
Les riches parents donnent
Une croûte de pain et tout
Tu peux t'aider toi-même
Mais n'en prends pas trop
Maman a peut-être, Papa a peut-être
Mais Dieu bénisse l'enfant qui a le sien
Qui a le sien
Maman a peut-être, Papa a peut-être
Mais Dieu bénisse l'enfant qui a le sien
Qui a le sien
Il ne s'inquiète de rien
Parce qu'il a le sien
