Song language: French
Mon village englouti(original) |
Mon village au fond de l’eau |
Se souvient des heures si proches |
Quand volait, dans le jour nouveau, |
Le son joyeux de ses cloches. |
Mon village au fond de l’eau |
Se souvient du bruit des enclumes |
Dont j’entends encore les échos, |
Vibrant sous un manteau d'écume |
Et la voix des peupliers |
Jamais, jamais je n’ai pu l’oublier. |
Tant de souvenirs engloutis |
Dorment là, sous l’onde isolée, |
Depuis qu’un barrage maudit |
A noyé ma verte vallée. |
Mon village au fond de l’eau |
Se souvient de choses jolies, |
D’un amour qui fut si beau, |
Soleil de toute ma vie… |
A présent qu’a sonné le glas, |
L’amour est mort, fut-il volage? |
Et mon cœur est triste et bien las. |
Mon cœur, pareil à ce village, |
Ce village au fond de l’eau |
Dont seul j’entends les soupirs, les sanglots. |
(translation) |
My village at the bottom of the water |
Remembers the hours so close |
When flew, in the new day, |
The joyous sound of its bells. |
My village at the bottom of the water |
Remembers the sound of anvils |
Of which I still hear the echoes, |
Vibrant under a cloak of foam |
And the voice of the poplars |
Never, never could I forget him. |
So many sunken memories |
Sleep there, under the isolated wave, |
Since a cursed dam |
Has drowned my green valley. |
My village at the bottom of the water |
Remembers pretty things, |
Of a love that was so beautiful, |
Sun of all my life... |
Now that the death knell has sounded, |
Love is dead, was it fickle? |
And my heart is sad and very weary. |
My heart, like this village, |
This village at the bottom of the water |
Of which only I hear the sighs, the sobs. |
