Lyrics
Deux tourterelles,
Se lamantaient,
Et pleuraient.
Sous la tonnelle,
Leur ritournelle
Me disait:
Nous etions belles
Prés de la tour.
Mais un jour,
Une demoiselle
Coupa nos ailes
Pour toujours.
Lai, Lai, Lai.
Une demoiselle
Coupa nos ailes
Pour toujours.
Les demoiselles
Sont bien souvent
Des enfants.
Brisant les ailes
Aux tourterelles
Aux amants.
Lai, Lai, Lai
Pleurez vos ailes
Je pleure ma belle
Dans le vent.
(Merci à Max pour cettes paroles)
Lyrics translation
Two lovebirds,
They were moaning,
And cried.
Under the Arbor,
Their retournelle
He was telling Me:
We were beautiful
Near the tower.
But one day,
A young lady
Cut our wings
Forever.
Lai, Lai, Lai.
A young lady
Cut our wings
Forever.
The ladies
Are quite often
Child.
Breaking wings
With lovebirds
To lovers.
Lai, Lai, Lai
Cry your wings
I cry my beautiful
In the wind.
(Thanks to Max for these words)
