Lyrics
Au coin des rues devant les caf? s Et pour les queues de cinema, la nuit tomb? e Il chantait des chansons de tous les pays
Qui pourtant n'? taient qu'? lui
Et les passants s’arr? taient le temps d’un refrain
En se disant qu’il aurait pu faire son chemin
Mais lui ne voulait pas de ce chemin-l?
Et sa vie lui allait bien
Tant qu’on a sa chanson? chanter
Et qulqu’un quelque part
Qui s’attarde? l'? couter
Tant que les filles sont belles
Que le soleil veut bien briller
Tant qu’on peut encore r? ver
On n’a pas besoin d’argent pour etre riche
Qu’importe les lauriers, il suffit pour bien vivre
D’aimer la vie pour ce qu’elle est
Et il chantait
Mais les gens qui ne voient pas plus loin que leur vie
Disaient: «Voil? bien la jeunesse d’aujourd’hui
Si chacun ne faisait que ce qu’il lui pla? t Que deviendrait le pays?»
Tant qu’on a sa chanson? chanter
Et qulqu’un quelque part
Qui s’attarde? l'? couter
Tant que les filles sont belles
Que le soleil veut bien briller
Tant qu’on peut encore r? ver
On n’a pas besoin d’argent pour etre riche
Qu’importe les lauriers, il suffit pour bien vivre
D’aimer la vie pour ce qu’elle est
Et il chantait
Et puis les regardait regagner chaque nuit
Leur petit pavillon, leur bonheur? cr? dit
Leurs amours reguli? res, contract? es par notre? re Il n’en avait pas envie
Tant qu’on a sa chanson? chanter
Et qulqu’un quelque part
Qui s’attarde? l'? couter
Tant que les filles sont belles
Que le soleil veut bien briller
Tant qu’on peut encore r? ver
Lyrics translation
Around the corner in front of the caf? s and for cinema tails, tomb night? he sang songs from all countries
Who yet does? were what? it
And passers-by stop? the time of a chorus
By thinking that he could have made his way
But he didn't want it this way?
And his life was good for him
As long as we have his song? sing
And anyone somewhere
Who lingers? l'? listen
As long as the girls are beautiful
That the sun wants to shine well
While we can still r? worm
You don't need money to be rich.
Whatever the laurels, it is enough to live well
To love life for what it is
And he was singing
But people who see no further than their lives
They Said, " Voil? well today's youth
What if everyone only did what they liked? what would the country become?»
As long as we have his song? sing
And anyone somewhere
Who lingers? l'? listen
As long as the girls are beautiful
That the sun wants to shine well
While we can still r? worm
You don't need money to be rich.
Whatever the laurels, it is enough to live well
To love life for what it is
And he was singing
And then watched them come back every night
Their little lodge, their happiness? cr? say
Their loves rules? res, contract? are you by US? re he did not want it
As long as we have his song? sing
And anyone somewhere
Who lingers? l'? listen
As long as the girls are beautiful
That the sun wants to shine well
While we can still r? worm
