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