La création du monde racontée par Etta James

I'm gonna tell you, so you'll understand,
Je vais vous raconter, ainsi vous comprendrez,
About how it all got started, how it all began.
comment tout a commencé, comment cela a débuté.
God made the heavens, God made the earth.
Dieu créa les cieux, Dieu créa la terre.
Made a man and a woman out of blood, sweat and dirt.
Il créa l'homme et la femme à partir de sang, de sueur et glaise.
And he looked around the neighbourhood.
Et il regarda les alentours.
And he said to himself: This is good.
Et il se dit : C'est bien.

God made the rivers, and the mountains with his hands.
Dieu créa les cours d'eau, les montagnes avec ses mains.
God made the wind to blow the shifting sands.
Dieu fit souffler le vent des sables changeants.
He put the fishes in the deep blue sea.
Il remplit de poissons la mer profonde et bleu.
Filled up the garden with flowers and the trees.
Il garnit le jardin de fleurs et d'arbres.
And he looked around the neighbourhood.
Et il regarda les alentours.
And he said to himself: This is Good.
Et il se dit : C'est bien.

But the devil, he was jealous,
Mais le diable, qui était jaloux,
Took the apple in his hand.
Prit la pomme dans sa main.
The devil tempted woman, and woman tempted man.
Le diable tenta la femme, et la femme tenta l'homme.
God he mourned, and the tears rolled down his face.
Dieu ressentit un grande tristesse, et des larmes roulèrent sur son visage.
It broke his heart to see his children fall from grace.
Cela lui brise le coeur de voir ses enfants tomber en disgrace.
And on the 7th day, they say God rested, but you know that ain't the truth.
Et au 7ème jour, on raconte que Dieu se reposa, mais vous savez que ce n'est pas la vérité.
Cause on the 7th day, God made the blues.
Car au 7ème jour, Dieu créa le blues.
God made the blues.
Dieu créa le blues.
