Lyrics

Ce soir là j’avais du bon temps,
Un bel amour à mes côtés,
Les rayons du soleil couchant,
Au fond de mon verre étoilé.
Ce beau soir là, je voulais vivre,
Loin de ce que j’avais connu,
Ce soir là, j'étais un peu ivre,
Plus que je ne l’aurais voulu.
Chante vigne, chante vin,
Chasse la peine des hommes,
Chante vigne, chante vin,
La vraie chanson de l’automne.
Sans la vigne, sans le vin,
Ce beau soir ne vaudrait rien.
Autour de moi comme à la foire,
La terre se mit à tourner.
Donc il aurait fallu ce soir,
Être ivre mort pour en douter.
C’est que le ciel était si pur,
C’est que le vent m'était si bon,
C’est que la grappe était si mûre,
Et le baiser tellement long.
Chante vigne, chante vin,
Chasse la peine des hommes,
Chante vigne, chante vin,
La vraie chanson de l’automne.
Sans la vigne, sans le vin,
Mon amour ne vaudrait rien.
Pardonne moi ma tant aimée,
Si ce soir là je n’ai pas vu,
Du vin nouveau, de ton baiser,
Lequel des deux valait le plus.
Tu l’oublierais ta jalousie,
Si tu savais, si tu savais,
Comme ce soir de sa magie,
Le vin nouveau t’embellissait.
Chante vigne, chante vin,
Chasse la peine des hommes,
Chante vigne, chante vin,
La vraie chanson de l’automne.
Sans la vigne, sans le vin,
Ma chanson ne vaudrait rien.
Sans la vigne, sans le vin,
Ma chanson ne vaudrait rien.

Lyrics translation

That night I had a good time,
A beautiful love by my side,
The rays of the setting sun,
At the bottom of my starry glass.
That beautiful night, I wanted to live,
Far from what I had known,
That night, I was a little drunk.,
More than I wanted.
Sing Vine, sing wine,
Hunting men's punishment,
Sing Vine, sing wine,
The real song of autumn.
Without the vine, without the wine,
This beautiful evening would be worth nothing.
Around me like at the fair,
The Earth began to turn.
So it would have taken tonight,
To be drunk dead to doubt it.
It's that the sky was so pure,
It's that the wind was so good for me,
It's because the cluster was so ripe,
And the kiss so long.
Sing Vine, sing wine,
Hunting men's punishment,
Sing Vine, sing wine,
The real song of autumn.
Without the vine, without the wine,
My love would be worth nothing.
Forgive me my beloved,
If that night I did not see,
New wine, your kiss,
Which one was worth the most.
You'd forget your jealousy.,
If you knew, if you knew,
Like tonight's magic,
The new wine made you beautiful.
Sing Vine, sing wine,
Hunting men's punishment,
Sing Vine, sing wine,
The real song of autumn.
Without the vine, without the wine,
My song wouldn't be worth anything.
Without the vine, without the wine,
My song wouldn't be worth anything.
