C'était... C'était... C'était...(original) |
C'était… c'était… c'était… |
Du côtéde la rivière, |
C'était du côtédu ruisseau des lavandières |
C'était c'était c'était, |
Après le pont dans les herbes, |
C'était c'était du côté |
Du côtéde l'été. |
On y voyait l’azur superbe |
Derrière l’usine àsoufre. |
Les grillons qui couraient dans l’herbe |
Tombaient dans le gouffre de l'écluse. |
C'était c'était c'était |
L’amour des premiers âges, |
Volage, |
Un baiser trop vite accepté. |
C'était la volupté, |
C'était la chanson de l'été, |
C'était ma vie. |
C'était c'était c'était |
L’orage dans les wagons-foudres, |
C'était la maison du bossu |
Réduite en poudre… |
C'était c'était c'était |
Les gens sur la passerelle, |
C'étaient les voyous du quartier. |
Pour moi, c'était l’amitié |
Parmi les buissons des garrigues, |
Courant vers les jeunettes, |
M’arrêtant pour manger des figues, |
Chantant ma chansonnette |
Hiver, été. |
C'était c'était c'était |
L’amour des premiers âges, |
Volage, un baiser |
Trop vite accepté. |
C'était la volupté… |
C'était c'était c'était |
La route de la poussière, |
C'étaient les trains qui roulaient |
Dans la nuit familière. |
C'était c'était c'était |
Le bruit sourd d’une porte. |
C'était peut-être un mort? |
Grand-mère qui revenait, |
Platanes au vent de septembre, |
Amis, chers musiciens, |
Bercez ce soir dans ma chambre |
Mes souvenirs anciens, |
Vieille mode. |
C'était c'était c'était |
Le temps heureux que j’envie. |
C'était la chanson de l'été! |
C'était ma vie… |
(translation) |
It was... it was... it was... |
On the side of the river, |
It was on the side of the washerwomen's stream |
It was it was it was, |
After the bridge in the grass, |
It was it was on the side |
On the summer side. |
You could see the superb azure |
Behind the sulfur factory. |
The crickets running in the grass |
Were falling into the abyss of the lock. |
it was it was it was |
The love of the first ages, |
fickle, |
A kiss too quickly accepted. |
It was voluptuousness, |
It was the song of the summer, |
It was my life. |
it was it was it was |
The storm in the lightning wagons, |
It was the hunchback's house |
Powdered... |
it was it was it was |
People on the catwalk, |
They were the neighborhood thugs. |
For me it was friendship |
Among the bushes of the garrigue, |
Running towards young girls, |
Stopping to eat figs, |
Singing my song |
Winter summer. |
it was it was it was |
The love of the first ages, |
Flighty, a kiss |
Too quickly accepted. |
It was pleasure... |
it was it was it was |
The road of dust, |
It was the trains that were rolling |
In the familiar night. |
it was it was it was |
The dull sound of a door. |
Maybe it was a death? |
returning grandmother, |
Plane trees in the September wind, |
Friends, dear musicians, |
Rock tonight in my room |
my old memories, |
Old fashion. |
it was it was it was |
The happy time I crave. |
It was the song of the summer! |
It was my life... |
