Prince En Avignon(original) |
| Il était un prince en Avignon |
| Sans royaume, sans château, ni donjon |
| Là-bas tout au fond de la province |
| Il était un prince |
| Et l’enfant que j'étais |
| Cueillait pour lui bien des roses |
| En ce temps le bonheur était peu de choses |
| Il était un prince en Avignon |
| Sans royaume, sans château, ni donjon |
| Mais ces mots nous chantaient les campagnes |
| Des grands rois d’Espagne |
| Quand le soir descendait |
| On devenait spectateurs |
| Et la ville avec lui n'était plus qu’un coeur |
| Il nous emportait dans son empire |
| Nous attendrissait avec un sourire |
| Combien je l’aimais, combien je rêvais |
| Et puis vers ma ville je m’en retournais |
| Il était un prince en Avignon |
| Sans royaume, sans château ni donjon |
| Là-bas tout au fond de la province |
| Il était un prince |
| Un prince |
| (translation) |
| He was a prince in Avignon |
| Without a kingdom, without a castle, or a dungeon |
| Down there deep in the province |
| He was a prince |
| And the child that I was |
| Picked many roses for him |
| In those days happiness was a small thing |
| He was a prince in Avignon |
| Without a kingdom, without a castle, or a dungeon |
| But these words sang to us of the countryside |
| great kings of Spain |
| When the evening fell |
| We became spectators |
| And the city with him was but a heart |
| He took us into his empire |
| Tenderized us with a smile |
| How much I loved him, how much I dreamed |
| And then to my city I was going back |
| He was a prince in Avignon |
| Without a kingdom, without a castle or a dungeon |
| Down there deep in the province |
| He was a prince |
| A prince |
