Woody Guthrie - Jesus Christ - translation of the lyrics into French

Lyrics and translation Woody Guthrie - Jesus Christ




Jesus Christ
Jésus-Christ
Jesus Christ was a man who traveled through the land
Jésus-Christ était un homme qui a voyagé à travers le pays
Hard working man and brave
Un homme qui travaillait dur et courageux
He said to the rich, "Give your goods to the poor."
Il a dit aux riches : "Donnez vos biens aux pauvres."
So they laid Jesus Christ in his grave.
Alors ils ont mis Jésus-Christ dans sa tombe.
Jesus was a man, a carpenter by hand
Jésus était un homme, un charpentier de métier
His followers true and brave
Ses disciples fidèles et courageux
One dirty little coward called Judas Iscariot
Un lâche petit misérable appelé Judas Iscariote
Has laid Jesus Christ in his grave
A mis Jésus-Christ dans sa tombe
He went to the sick, he went to the poor,
Il est allé vers les malades, il est allé vers les pauvres,
And he went to the hungry and the lame;
Et il est allé vers les affamés et les estropiés ;
Said that the poor would one day win this world,
Il a dit que les pauvres gagneraient un jour ce monde,
And so they laid Jesus Christ in his grave.
Et ainsi ils ont mis Jésus-Christ dans sa tombe.
He went to the preacher, he went to the sheriff,
Il est allé vers le prédicateur, il est allé vers le shérif,
Told them all the same;
Il leur a dit la même chose ;
Sell all of your jewelry and give it to the Poor,
Vendez tous vos bijoux et donnez-les aux pauvres,
But they laid Jesus Christ in his grave.
Mais ils ont mis Jésus-Christ dans sa tombe.
When Jesus came to town, the working folks around,
Quand Jésus est arrivé en ville, les travailleurs du coin,
Believed what he did say;
Ont cru ce qu'il disait ;
The bankers and the preachers they nailed him on a cross,
Les banquiers et les prédicateurs l'ont cloué sur une croix,
And they laid Jesus Christ in his grave.
Et ils ont mis Jésus-Christ dans sa tombe.
Poor working people, they follered him around,
Les pauvres travailleurs, ils le suivaient partout,
Sung and shouted gay;
Chantaient et criaient avec joie ;
Cops and the soldiers, they nailed him in the air,
Les flics et les soldats, ils l'ont cloué dans les airs,
And they nailed Jesus Christ in his grave.
Et ils ont cloué Jésus-Christ dans sa tombe.
Well the people held their breath when they heard about his death,
Eh bien, les gens ont retenu leur souffle quand ils ont entendu parler de sa mort,
And everybody wondered why;
Et tout le monde se demandait pourquoi ;
It was the landlord and the soldiers that he hired.
Ce sont le propriétaire et les soldats qu'il avait embauchés.
That nailed Jesus Christ in the sky.
Qui ont cloué Jésus-Christ dans le ciel.
When the love of the poor shall one day turn to hate.
Quand l'amour des pauvres se transformera un jour en haine.
When the patience of the workers gives away
Quand la patience des travailleurs cédera
"Would be better for you rich if you never had been born"
« Il vaudrait mieux pour vous, les riches, que vous n'ayez jamais été nés »
So they laid Jesus Christ in his grave.
Alors ils ont mis Jésus-Christ dans sa tombe.
This song was written in New York City
Cette chanson a été écrite à New York City
Of rich men, preachers and slaves
Des riches, des prédicateurs et des esclaves
Yes, if Jesus was to preach like he preached in Galillee,
Oui, si Jésus devait prêcher comme il prêchait en Galilée,
They would lay Jesus Christ in his grave.
Ils mettraient Jésus-Christ dans sa tombe.
Sung to Jesse James
Chanté sur l'air de Jesse James
