Lyrics and translation The Carter Family - Diamonds In the Rough
While
walking
out
one
evening
Alors
que
je
marchais
dehors
un
soir
Not
knowing
where
to
go
Ne
sachant
pas
où
aller
Just
to
pass
the
time
away
Juste
pour
passer
le
temps
Before
we
held
our
show
Avant
notre
spectacle
I
heard
the
Bethel
mission's
band
J'ai
entendu
le
groupe
de
la
mission
de
Bethel
Singing
with
all
their
might
Chantant
de
toutes
leurs
forces
I
give
my
heart
to
Jesus
J'ai
donné
mon
cœur
à
Jésus
And
left
the
show
that
night
Et
j'ai
quitté
le
spectacle
ce
soir-là
The
day
will
soon
be
over
and
digging
will
be
done
Le
jour
sera
bientôt
terminé
et
la
fouille
sera
terminée
And
no
more
gems
be
gathered,
so
let
us
all
press
on
Et
plus
aucune
gemme
ne
sera
recueillie,
alors
avançons
tous
When
Jesus
comes
to
claim
us
and
says
it
is
enough
Quand
Jésus
viendra
nous
réclamer
et
dira
que
c'est
assez
The
diamonds
will
be
shining,
no
longer
in
the
rough
Les
diamants
brilleront,
plus
jamais
bruts
One
day,
my
precious
comrade
Un
jour,
mon
précieux
camarade
You,
too,
were
lost
in
sin
Toi
aussi,
tu
étais
perdu
dans
le
péché
And
others
sought
your
rescue
Et
d'autres
ont
cherché
ton
salut
And
Jesus
took
you
in
Et
Jésus
t'a
accueilli
And
when
you're
tired
and
tempted
Et
quand
tu
es
fatigué
et
tenté
And
scoffers
can
rebuff
Et
que
les
moqueurs
peuvent
te
repousser
Don't
turn
away
in
anger
Ne
te
détourne
pas
dans
la
colère
This
diamond
in
the
rough
Ce
diamant
brut
The
day
will
soon
be
over
and
digging
will
be
done
Le
jour
sera
bientôt
terminé
et
la
fouille
sera
terminée
And
no
more
gems
be
gathered,
so
let

Quand

réclamer
et

que
c'est
assez
The
diamonds
will
be
shining,
no
longer
in
the
rough
Les
diamants
brilleront,
plus
jamais
bruts
While
reading
through
the
Bible
En
lisant
la
Bible
Some
wondrous
sights
I
see
Je
vois
des
choses
merveilleuses
I
read
of
Peter,
James,
and
John
J'ai
lu
à
propos
de
Pierre,
Jacques
et
Jean
By
the
Sea
of
Galilee
Au
bord
de
la
mer
de
Galilée
And
Jesus
when
he
found
them
Et
Jésus
quand
il
les
a
trouvés
He
bound
them
very
tough
Il
les
a
liés
très
fort
And
they
were
precious
diamonds
Et
ils
étaient
de
précieux
diamants
He
gathered
in
the
rough
Il
les
a
rassemblés
à
l'état
brut
The
day
will
soon
be
over
and
digging
will
be
done
Le
jour
sera
bientôt
terminé
et
la
fouille
sera

And
no
