The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Ses yeux" by Julos Beaucarne.
Lyrics
Ses yeux restaient devant les miens
Ils ne voulaient pas s’en aller
Je leur disais «Allez-vous-en !»
Ils restaient là comme s’ils étaient plantés
Alors, je les ai chassés à coups de bâton, à coups de pieds
Mais il suffisait de les chasser pour les voir arriver au grand galop
Pour les voir se replanter devant mes propres yeux, devant mon propre nez
Alors, j’ai été chercher de l’ail
J’ai pelé des oignons et je les ai fait pleurer
Mais les yeux restaient
Ils avaient pris racine
Ils ne voulaient pas s’en aller
Alors, comme je voyais bien que je ne pourrais pas les chasser
Je les ai laissés entrer chez moi
Ils ont mangé à ma table mon pain et ont partagé tout ce que j’avais
Et surtout tout ce que je n’avais pas
Alors, ces yeux-là sont devenus les miens
Et les miens sont devenus ceux-là
Lyrics translation
His eyes stayed in front of mine
They didn't want to leave.
I said, " Go away !»
They stood there as if they were planted
So I kicked them out, kicked them out, kicked them out, kicked them out, kicked them out, kicked them out, kicked them out, kicked them out.
But it was enough to chase them to see them arrive at the great gallop
To see them replant in front of my own eyes, in front of my own nose
So, I went looking for garlic
I peeled onions and made them cry
But the eyes remained
They had taken root
They didn't want to leave.
So, as I saw well that I could not chase them
I let them into my house.
They ate my bread at my table and shared everything I had
And especially all that I did not have
So those eyes became mine
And mine became those
