Lyrics
La moisson ne sera pas rentrée
Les blés vont mourir pendant l'été
Les vieux ont lutté mais sans gagner
Notre terre ne donnait plus assez
Les hommes du village ont décidé
D’aller à la ville pour travailler
Les bergers se souviendront de moi
Ils m’ont vu grandir là sous les toits
De mon village abandonné
De mon village abandonné
De mon village abandonné
De mon village abandonné
Mais l’automne flattera les pommiers
Personne ne viendra les contempler
Les touristes ont détruit les vergers
Pillé la nature pour s’installer
De mon village abandonné
De mon village abandonné
De mon village abandonné
De mon village abandonné
Han, han han…
Lyrics translation
The harvest will not be returned
Wheat will die during the summer
The old men fought but did not win
Our land did not give enough
The men of the village decided
To go to the city to work
The shepherds will remember me
They saw me grow up there under the rooftops
From my Abandoned village
From my Abandoned village
From my Abandoned village
From my Abandoned village
But autumn will flatter apple trees
No one will come to contemplate them
Tourists destroyed orchards
Looted nature to settle
From my Abandoned village
From my Abandoned village
From my Abandoned village
From my Abandoned village
Han, han han…
