The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Syracuse" by Jean Sablon.

Lyrics

J’aimerais tant voir Syracuse
L'île de Pâques et Kairouan
Et les grands oiseaux qui s’amusent
A glisser l’aile sous le vent.
Voir les jardins de Babylone
Et le palais du grand Lama
Rêver des amants de Vérone
Au sommet du Fuji-Yama.
Voir le pays du matin calme
Aller pêcher au cormoran
Et m’enivrer de vin de palme
En écoutant chanter le vent.
Avant que ma jeunesse s’use
Et que mes printemps soient partis
J’aimerais tant voir Syracuse
Pour m’en souvenir àParis.

Lyrics translation

I would so love to see Syracuse
Easter Island and Kairouan
And the big birds having fun
To slip the wing under the wind.
See the gardens of Babylon
And the Palace of the Grand Lama
Dreaming of Verona lovers
At the top of Fuji-Yama.
See the quiet morning Country
Go fishing for cormorants
And get drunk on palm wine
Listening to the Wind Sing.
Before my youth wore out
And my spring is gone
I would so love to see Syracuse
To remember it in Paris.
