Lyrics of Le bon Dieu - Jacques Brel

Le bon Dieu (original)

Toi
Toi, si t'étais l’bon Dieu
Tu f’rais valser les vieux
Aux étoiles
Toi
Toi, si t'étais l’bon Dieu
Tu allumerais des bals
Pour les gueux
Toi
Toi, si t'étais l’bon Dieu
Tu n’s’rais pas économe
De ciel bleu
Mais
Tu n´es pas l´bon Dieu
Toi, tu es beaucoup mieux
Tu es un homme
Tu es un homme
Tu es un homme

(translation)

You
You, if you were the good Lord
You would make old people waltz
To the stars
You
You, if you were the good Lord
You would light balls
For the beggars
You
You, if you were the good Lord
You wouldn't be thrifty
Of blue skies
But
You are not the good Lord
You are much better
You are a man
You are a man
You are a man
