Translation of the song lyrics Le semeur - Mario Pelchat

Le semeur (original)

Il est de ces gens qui laissent des traces
Au-delà du temps
Au-delà du vent qui passe
Il est de ces hommes qui de leurs mains
Ont enfoui dans la terre
Un roseau qui fleurira
Même après qu’il partira
Car plus fort que l’hiver
Il survivra
Son c ur a souvent pansé ses chagrins
Quand des jours plus gris
Menaçaient ses lendemains
Mais il a connu pour comble d’amour
Un appui lorsque les drames
Viendraient les saccager au détour
Le semeur a ses rêves
Qu’il emporte avec lui
Une veine, une sève
Où l’on s’abreuve aussi
Pour autant qu’il demeure
On vivra à travers lui
Contre tout attente il ne voudra croire
Que d’un grain qu’on plante
Ne naîtra que peu d’espoir
Il n'écoutera pas ce que diront
Sa foi, sa raison
Les saisons ne pourront pas
Contre l’ombre de ses voies
Pas plus le sillage de ses pas
De s’qu’il a laissé de c’qu’il a semé$D
Il le sait déjà
Pour d’autres on moissonnera
Mais de son passage il aura goûté
De son héritage
Pour ses enfants, il vivra
Dans son jardin, il sera
La chanson du semeur restera
Pour ses enfants, il sera
Dans son jardin, il vivra
La chanson du semeur restera

(translation)

He's one of those people who leave their mark
Beyond Time
Beyond the passing wind
He is one of those men who with their hands
Buried in the ground
A reed that will bloom
Even after he leaves
Because stronger than winter
He will survive
His heart has often healed his sorrows
When grayer days
Threatened his tomorrows
But he knew for the height of love
Support when the dramas
Would come and ransack them around the bend
The sower has his dreams
That he takes with him
A vein, a sap
Where we also drink
As long as it remains
We'll live through it
Against all odds he won't believe
That of a grain that we plant
There will be little hope
He won't listen to what they say
His faith, his reason
The seasons cannot
Against the shadow of his ways
No more the wake of his footsteps
Of what he left of what he sowed$D
He already knows
For others we will reap
But in his passing he will have tasted
Of his legacy
For his children he will live
In his garden he will be
The sower's song will remain
For his children he will be
In his garden he will live
The sower's song will remain
