Ma France(original) |
De plaines en forêts de vallons en collines |
Du printemps qui va naître à tes mortes saisons |
De ce que j’ai vécu à ce que j’imagine |
Je n’en finirai pas d'écrire ta chanson |
Ma France |
Au grand soleil d'été qui courbe la Provence |
Des genêts de Bretagne aux bruyères d’Ardèche |
Quelque chose dans l’air a cette transparence |
Et ce goût du bonheur qui rend ma lèvre sèche |
Ma France |
Cet air de liberté au-delà des frontières |
Aux peuples étrangers qui donnaient le vertige |
Et dont vous usurpez aujourd’hui le prestige |
Elle répond toujours du nom de Robespierre |
Ma France |
Celle du vieil Hugo tonnant de son exil |
Des enfants de cinq ans travaillant dans les mines |
Celle qui construisit de ses mains vos usines |
Celle dont monsieur Thiers a dit qu’on la fusille |
Ma France |
Picasso tient le monde au bout de sa palette |
Des lèvres d'Éluard s’envolent des colombes |
Ils n’en finissent pas tes artistes prophètes |
De dire qu’il est temps que le malheur succombe |
Ma France |
Leurs voix se multiplient à n’en plus faire qu’une |
Celle qui paie toujours vos crimes vos erreurs |
En remplissant l’histoire et ses fosses communes |
Que je chante à jamais celle des travailleurs |
Ma France |
Celle qui ne possède en or que ses nuits blanches |
Pour la lutte obstiné de ce temps quotidien |
Du journal que l’on vend le matin d’un dimanche |
A l’affiche qu’on colle au mur du lendemain |
Ma France |
Qu’elle monte des mines descende des collines |
Celle qui chante en moi la belle la rebelle |
Elle tient l’avenir, serré dans ses mains fines |
Celle de trente-six à soixante-huit chandelles |
Ma France |
(translation) |
From plains to forests from valleys to hills |
From the spring that will be born to your dead seasons |
From what I've been through to what I imagine |
I won't stop writing your song |
My France |
To the great summer sun that bends Provence |
From the broom of Brittany to the heather of Ardèche |
Something in the air has this transparency |
And this taste of happiness that makes my lip dry |
My France |
That air of freedom beyond borders |
To foreign people who made you dizzy |
And whose prestige you usurp today |
She always answers to the name of Robespierre |
My France |
That of old Hugo thundering from his exile |
Five-year-old children working in the mines |
She who built your factories with her hands |
The one Monsieur Thiers said was being shot |
My France |
Picasso holds the world at the end of his palette |
From the lips of Eluard fly away doves |
They do not end your artists prophets |
To say it's time for misfortune to succumb |
My France |
Their voices multiply into one |
The one who always pays for your crimes, your mistakes |
By filling in history and its mass graves |
May I forever sing that of the workers |
My France |
The one who only has gold in her sleepless nights |
For the stubborn struggle of this daily time |
Of the newspaper that is sold on a Sunday morning |
On the poster that we stick to the wall of tomorrow |
My France |
Let her go up from the mines come down from the hills |
The one who sings in me the beautiful the rebel |
She holds the future, tight in her slender hands |
That of thirty-six to sixty-eight candles |
My France |
