Translation of the song lyrics Le village abandonné - Eddy Mitchell

Le village abandonné (original)

La moisson ne sera pas rentrée
Les blés vont mourir pendant l'été
Les vieux ont lutté mais sans gagner
Notre terre ne donnait plus assez
Les hommes du village ont décidé
D’aller à la ville pour travailler
Les bergers se souviendront de moi
Ils m’ont vu grandir là sous les toits
De mon village abandonné
De mon village abandonné
De mon village abandonné
De mon village abandonné
Mais l’automne flattera les pommiers
Personne ne viendra les contempler
Les touristes ont détruit les vergers
Pillé la nature pour s’installer
De mon village abandonné
De mon village abandonné
De mon village abandonné
De mon village abandonné
Han, han han…

Le village abandonné (translation)

The harvest will not be reaped
The wheat will die during the summer
The old fought but did not win
Our land wasn't giving enough
The men of the village have decided
To go to town to work
The shepherds will remember me
They saw me growing up there under the roof
From my abandoned village
From my abandoned village
From my abandoned village
From my abandoned village
But autumn will flatter the apple trees
No one will come to look at them
Tourists have destroyed the orchards
Looted the wild to settle
From my abandoned village
From my abandoned village
From my abandoned village
From my abandoned village
Han, han han…
