Lyrics
Les gens du Nord
Ont dans leurs yeux le bleu qui manqu' leur dcor.
Les gens du Nord
Ont dans le cur le soleil qu’ils n’ont pas dehors.
Les gens du Nord
Ouvrent toujours leurs portes ceux qui ont souffert.
Les gens du Nord
N’oublient pas qu’ils ont vcu des annes d’enfer
Si leurs maisons sont alignes
C’est par souci d’galit
Et les pniches
Pauvres ou riches
Portent le fruit de leurs efforts
Les gens du Nord
Courbent le dos lorsque le vent souffle trs fort.
Les gens du Nord
Se lvent tt, car de l dpend tout leur sort.
A l’horizon de leur campagne
C’est le charbon qui est montagne,
Les rues des villes
Dorment tranquilles
La pluie tombant sur les pavs.
L’accordon les fait danser
Et puis la bire les fait chanter
Et quand la fte
Tourne les ttes
On en voit deux se marier.
Les gens du Nord
Ont dans les yeux le bleu qui manqu' leur dcor.
Les gens du Nord
Ont dans le cur le soleil qu’ils n’ont pas dehors.
Lyrics translation
The people of the North
Have in their eyes the blue that is missing their dcor.
The people of the North
Have in their ass The Sun that they do not have outside.
The people of the North
Those who have suffered always open their doors.
The people of the North
Don't forget they've had years of hell
If their houses are aligned
It is for the sake of galit
And pniches
Poor or rich
Are the fruit of their efforts
The people of the North
Bend your back when the wind blows very strong.
The people of the North
They sell themselves tt, because of L dpend all their fate.
On the horizon of their campaign
It is coal that is mountain,
The streets of cities
Sleep quietly
The rain falling on the pavs.
The accordion makes them dance
And then the bire blackmails them
And when the fte
Turn the ttes
We see two of them getting married.
The people of the North
Have in their eyes the blue that is missing their dcor.
The people of the North
Have in their ass The Sun that they do not have outside.
