Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Preacherman by Melody Gardot from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Preacher man, go tell me
Preacher man, go tell me
Where his body lies
Where his body lies
Sitting down by the river, now, child
Sitting down by the river, now, child
Left him there to die
Left him there to die
One by one we tumble
One by one we tumble
One by one we fall
One by one we fall
If I had a solution, now, honey
If I had a solution, now, honey
I would fix us all
I would fix us all
'Cause I believe in a world
'Cause I believe in a world
Where we all belong
Where we all belong
And I'm so tired of seein'
And I'm so tired of seeingin'
Every good man gone
Every good man gone
Take me to that river
Take me to that river
Lay me by his side
Lay me by his side
Let the water wash me clean, now, honey
Let the water wash me clean, now, honey
Man, don't stole my pride
Man, don't steal my pride
I have seen the darkness
I have seen the darkness
Lord knows I've seen the light
Lord knows I've seen the light
Don't recall the Lord
Don't recall the Lord
Sayin' there's a difference
Sayin' there's a difference
If you're black or white
If you're black or white
'Cause I believe in a world
'Cause I believe in a world
Where we all belong
Where we all belong
And I'm so tired of seein'
And I'm so tired of seeingin'
Every good man gone
Every good man gone
