Song information On this page you can read the lyrics of the song Mon terroir , by - Guillaume Poncelet. Song from the album 88, in the genre Мировая классикаMon terroir(original) |
| Enfant, j’inventais des espaces |
| En dessinant des monts violets |
| Des arbres bleus, des vaches grasses |
| Et des chemins qui serpentaient |
| Mais ma campagne, ma nature |
| Quand je me prends à y songer |
| Est un pauvre coin de verdure |
| Un maigre jardin potager |
| Ce lopin, ce bout de clairière |
| C’est tout ce que j’ai pour terroir |
| Puisque ma famille ouvrière |
| Prend souche sur du goudron noir |
| Ce minuscule coin champêtre |
| Pris dans un pâté de maisons |
| On l’aperçoit de ma fenêtre |
| Fermé dans ses murs en béton |
| Là ne planent point de légendes |
| Où l'âme puise et s’aguerrit |
| Il donne ce qu’on lui demande |
| Quatre tomates, trois radis |
| Ce petit morceau de culture |
| Ce fut ma part de merveilleux |
| Tout le reste est littérature |
| On triche quand on devient vieux |
| Je ne suis pas né en Provence |
| En Savoie ni en Beaujolais |
| Mon sang a l’odeur de l’essence |
| Et mon pays est gris et laid |
| J’ai grandi parmi les usines |
| Au deuxième chez mes parents |
| Une chambre et une cuisine |
| D’où l’on voit ce petit arpent |
| Ce clos de rêves et de salades |
| C’est mon paradis défendu |
| Était à un voisin maussade |
| Je n’y suis jamais descendu |
| (translation) |
| As a child, I invented spaces |
| By drawing purple mountains |
| Blue trees, fat cows |
| And winding paths |
| But my campaign, my nature |
| When I find myself thinking about it |
| Is a poor patch of greenery |
| A meager vegetable garden |
| This plot, this piece of clearing |
| That's all I got for land |
| Since my working family |
| Takes its stump on black tar |
| This tiny country corner |
| Caught in a block |
| You can see it from my window |
| Closed in its concrete walls |
| There do not hover legends |
| Where the soul draws and hardens |
| He gives what is asked of him |
| Four tomatoes, three radishes |
| This little piece of culture |
| It was my share of wonderful |
| All the rest is literature |
| We cheat when we get old |
| I was not born in Provence |
| In Savoy or Beaujolais |
| My blood smells like gasoline |
| And my country is gray and ugly |
| I grew up among the factories |
| On the second floor with my parents |
| A bedroom and a kitchen |
| From where we see this little acre |
| This enclosure of dreams and salads |
| This is my forbidden paradise |
| Was to a sullen neighbor |
| I have never been down there |
