Sylvie Vartan - La Maritza (Paroles) | With English Translation

Details

Description

LYRICS! with English Translation!

The Maritza is my river
La Maritza, c'est ma rivière

As the Seine is yours
Comme la Seine est la tienne

But there is only my father
Mais il n'y a que mon père

Now who remembers
Maintenant qui s'en souvienne

Sometimes
Quelquefois
From my first ten years
De mes dix premières années

I have nothing left
Il ne me reste plus rien

Not the poorest doll
Pas la plus pauvre poupée

Nothing left but a little chorus
Plus rien qu'un petit refrain

From the past
D'autrefois
All the birds of my river
Tous les oiseaux de ma rivière

We sang of freedom
Nous chantaient la liberté

I hardly understood
Moi je ne comprenais guère

But my father knew
Mais mon père, lui, savait

Listen
Écouter
When the horizon has become too dark
Quand l'horizon s'est fait trop noir

All the birds are gone
Tous les oiseaux sont partis

On the paths of hope
Sur les chemins de l'espoir

And we followed them
Et nous on les a suivis

In Paris
À Paris
From my first ten years
De mes dix premières années

I have nothing left, nothing
Il ne me reste plus rien, rien

And yet with eyes closed
Et pourtant les yeux fermés

I hear my father singing
Moi j'entends mon père chanter

This chorus
Ce refrain
