Lyrics
Il avait un air trs doux,
Des yeux rveurs un peu fous
Aux lueurs tranges.
Comme bien des gars du Nord,
Dans ses cheveux un peu d’or,
Un sourire d’ange.
J’allais passer sans le voir
Mais quand il m’a dit bonsoir
D’une voix chantante,
J’ai compris que, ce soir-l,
Malgr la pluie et le froid,
Je serais contente.
Il avait un regard trs doux.
Il venait de je ne sais o.
D’o viens-tu? Quel est ton nom?
Le navire est ma maison.
La mer mon village.
Mon nom, nul ne le saura.
Je suis simplement un gars
Ardent l’ouvrage
Et si j’ai le cur trop lourd,
Donne-moi donc un peu d’amour,
Espoir de caresses.
Et moi, fille au cur blas,
J’ai senti, sous ses baisers,
Une ardente ivresse.
Il avait un regard trs doux
Il venait de je ne sais o.
Simplement, sans boniments,
J’aimais mon nouvel amant,
Mon poux d’une heure.
Comme bien des malheureux,
Il croyait lire en mes yeux
La femme qu’on pleure
Et, follement, j’esprais
Qu’au matin, il me dirait
Suis-moi je t’emmne.
J’aurais dit oui, je le sens,
Mais il a fui, me laissant
Rive ma chane.
Il avait un regard trs doux.
Il venait de je ne sais o.
J’ai rv de l’tranger
Et, le cur tout drang
Par les cigarettes,
Par l’alcool et le cafard,
Son souvenir chaque soir
M’a tourn la tte
Mais on dit que, prs du port,
On a repch le corps
D’un gars de marine
Qui, par l’amour dlaiss,
Ne trouva pour le bercer
Que la mer cline.
Il avait un regard trs doux.
Il s’en allait je ne sais o
Lyrics translation
He looked very sweet,
A little crazy.
In the dark.
Like a lot of guys from the North,
In her hair a little gold,
An angel's smile.
I was going to pass without seeing him.
But when he said Good Night
In a singing voice,
I understood that tonight-l,
Despite the rain and cold,
I'd be happy.
He had a very sweet look.
He came from I don't know o.
Where Are you from? What's your name?
The ship is my home.
The sea my village.
No one will know my name.
I'm just a guy
Ardent work
And if my ass is too heavy,
So give me some love,
Hope for caresses.
And me, girl in the ass blas,
I felt, under his kisses,
A burning drunkenness.
He had a very sweet look
He came from I don't know o.
Simply, without lumps,
I loved my new lover,
My one-hour louse.
As many of the unfortunate,
He thought he could read in my eyes.
The woman we cry
And, madly, I sprinted
That in the morning he would tell me
Follow me, I'll take you.
I would have said yes, I feel it,
But he fled, leaving me
Rive ma chane.
He had a very sweet look.
He came from I don't know o.
I have rv to Foreign it
And, the ass all drang
By cigarettes,
By alcohol and cockroach,
His memory every night
Turned my head
But it is said that, prs port,
We repch the body
From a marine guy
Who by love dlaiss,
Did not find to rock it
Let the sea clink.
He had a very sweet look.
He was leaving I don't know o
