Lyrics
Deux valises en carton sur la terre de France
Un Portugais vient de quitter son Portugal
Comme tant d’autres il est venu tenter sa chance
Le Portugais qui a quitté son Portugal
Ici le soir parmi tous ses amis
Il cherche un peu d’espoir
Tandis qu’ils font le cercle autour de lui
Il joue sur sa guitare
Il chante des fados des airs traditionnels
Le Portugais qui a quitté son Portugal
Sous les toits il entend la pluie tomber du ciel
Il fait si beau chez lui dans son pays natal
Là-bas une fille l’attend depuis des mois
Chaque soir elle lui écrit
Pour elle jamais au monde il n’y aura
Personne d’autre que lui
Deux valises en carton sur la terre de France
Un Prince s'éloigne dans le brouillard matinal
C’est à la fille qui l’attend là-bas qu’il pense
Ce Portugais qui rentre enfin au Portugal
Ce Portugais qui rentre enfin au Portugal
La la la la …
Lyrics translation
Two cardboard suitcases on the land of France
A Portuguese has just left his Portugal
Like so many others he came to try his luck
The Portuguese who left his Portugal
Here in the evening among all his friends
He's looking for some hope
While they circle around him
He plays on his guitar
He sings fados of traditional tunes
The Portuguese who left his Portugal
Under the roofs he hears the rain falling from the sky
It is so beautiful at home in his native country
There a girl has been waiting for him for months
Every night she writes to him
For her never in the world there will be
No one but him
Two cardboard suitcases on the land of France
A Prince walks away in the morning fog
It's the girl waiting for him there that he thinks about
This Portuguese who finally returns to Portugal
This Portuguese who finally returns to Portugal
La la la la …
