Lyrics
Il y avait un garçon qui vivait
Simplement travaillant dans l' faubourg
Il y avit une fill' qui rêvait
Sagement en attendant l’amour
Il y avait le printemps
Lêprintemps des romans
Qui passait en chantant
Et cherchaient deux coeurs tout bancs
Por prêter ses serments
Et en fair' des amants
Il y a eu un moment merveilleux
Lorsque leurs regards se sont unis
Il a eu ces instants délicieux
Ou sans rien dire ils se sont compris
Il y a eu le destin
Qui a poussél'gamin
A lui prendre la main
Il y a eu la chaleur
La chaleur du bonheur
Qui leur montait au coeur
Il y avait cette chambre meublée
Aux fenêtres donnant sur la cour
Il y avait ce couple qui s’aimait
Et leurs phrases parlaient de toujours
Il y avait le gamin
Qui promenait sa mian
Dans les cheveux de lin
De la fille aux yeux rêveurs
Tandis que dans leurs coeurs
S’installait le bonheur
Il y a eu ces deux corps éperdus
De bonheur et de joie sans pareils
Il y a eu tous les rêves perdus
Qui remplaçaoent leurs nuits sans sommeil
Il y a eu le moment
Oùsoudain le printemps
A repris ses serments
Il y a eu le bonheur
Qui s’est enfui en pleurs
D’avoir brisédeux coeurs
Il y avait un garçon qui vivait
Simplement travaillant dans l' faubourg
Il y avait une fill' qui pleurait
En songeant àsom premier amour
Il y avait le destin
Qui marchait son chemin
Sans s’occuper de rien
Tant qu’il y aura des amants
Il y aura des serments
Qui n’dur’ont qu’un pritemps.
Lyrics translation
There was a boy who lived
Simply working in the faubourg
There was a fill ' that dreamed
Wisely waiting for love
There was spring
The time of the novels
Who passed by singing
And were looking for two hearts all benches
For taking his oaths
And in fair ' lovers
There was a wonderful time
When their looks came together
He had those delicious moments
Or without saying anything they understood each other
There was fate
Who pushed the kid
Take her hand
There was the heat
The warmth of happiness
That went up in their hearts
There was this furnished room
Windows overlooking the courtyard
There was this couple who loved each other
And their sentences spoke of always
There was the kid
Who walked his mian
In linen hair
From the girl with dreamy eyes
While in their hearts
Happiness settled
There were these two bodies lost
Happiness and joy without equal
There have been all the Lost Dreams
Who replace their sleepless nights
There was the moment
Where early spring
Resumed his oaths
There was happiness
Who ran away in tears
To have broken two hearts
There was a boy who lived
Simply working in the faubourg
There was a fill ' crying
Thinking of her first love
There was fate
Who walked his way
Without taking care of anything
As long as there are lovers
There will be oaths
Who only have one time.
