Lyrics
Quand on voit les tours de Notre Dame,
On entend du fond du moyen-ge,
La chanson lon la lon lre,
Qui donnait aux compagnons,
Le courage de monter leurs pierres.
Quand l’oiseau chante,
Il fait moins froid.
Quand l’oiseau chante,
C’est pour toi.
Moi je suis de cette riche plaine,
Chantant du fond des terres lointaines,
La chanson lon la lon lre,
De ce tout petit garon,
Qui marche pieds-nus prs des rizires.
Quand l’oiseau chante,
Il fait moins froid.
Quand l’oiseau chante,
C’est pour toi.
Un rideau noir tombe sur le monde,
Et la libert n’est plus qu’une ombre,
La chanson lon la lon lre,
Va de maisons en prisons,
Annoncer le temps de la lumire.
Quand l’oiseau chante,
Il fait moins froid.
Quand l’oiseau chante,
C’est pour toi.
Lyrics translation
When we see the towers of Notre Dame,
We hear from the bottom of the middle-ge,
The song lon Lon lre,
Who gave to companions,
The courage to mount their stones.
When the bird sings,
It's less cold.
When the bird sings,
It's for you.
I am from this rich plain,
Singing from the depths of distant lands,
The song lon Lon lre,
From this tiny garon,
Who walks barefoot around the rice fields.
When the bird sings,
It's less cold.
When the bird sings,
It's for you.
A black curtain falls on the world,
And freedom is only a shadow,
The song lon Lon lre,
Goes from houses to prisons,
Announce the time of the light.
When the bird sings,
It's less cold.
When the bird sings,
It's for you.
