Lyrics
Tu verrais des oiseaux
convoler jour et nuit.
Tu verrais des cargos jalouser les voiliers,
flirtant avec le vent, le vent,
Tu verrais les gamins et leurs filets trainant,
Tu verrais l’oeil des femmes cajoler des enfants
qui s’en iront marins, gamins.
Tu verrais tu vivrais ici,
sans avoir à rêver d’ailleurs,
Tu coulerais tes jours, tes nuits, aux portes de ce monde meilleur,
Sans penser à demain,
ni rien.
Tu verrais ce village aux allées valiées
Lyrics translation
You'd see birds
mix Day and night.
You'd see cargo ships jealous of sailboats,
flirting with the wind, the wind,
You'd see the kids and their nets rolling,
You'd see women's eyes caressing children
who will leave sailors, kids.
You'd see you'd live here,
without having to dream by the way,
You would sink your days, your nights, at the gates of this better world,
Without thinking about tomorrow,
or nothing.
You'd see this village with the valiées alleys
