Below, I translated the lyrics of the song On The Road Again by Bernard Lavilliers from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Nous étions jeunes et larges d'épaules
We were young and broad-shouldered
Bandits joyeux, insolents et drôles
Cheerful, cheeky and funny bandits
On attendait que la mort nous frôle
We were waiting for death to come close to us
On the road again, again
On the road again, again
On the road again, again
On the road again, again
Au petit jour, on quittait l'Irlande
At daybreak, we left Ireland
Et, derrière nous, s'éclairait la lande
And behind us lit up the moor
Il fallait bien, un jour, qu'on nous pende
It was necessary, one day, that we were hanged
On the road again, again
On the road again, again
On the road again, again
On the road again, again
(On the road again, again, oh)
(On the road again, again, oh)
(On the road again, again, oh)
(On the road again, again, oh)
La mer revient toujours au rivage
The sea always returns to the shore
Dans les blés mûrs, y a des fleurs sauvages
In the ripe wheat, there are wildflowers
N'y pense plus, tu es de passage
Don't think about it anymore, you're passing through
On the road again, again
On the road again, again
On the road again, again
On the road again, again
(Again, on the road, again)
(Again, on the road, again)
Nous étions jeunes et larges d'épaules
We were young and broad-shouldered
On attendait que la mort nous frôle
We were waiting for death to come close to us
Elle nous a pris, les beaux et les drôles
She took us, the beautiful ones and the funny ones
On the road again, again
On the road again, again
On the road again, again
On the road again, again
Ami, sais-tu que les mots d'amour
Friend, do you know that the words of love
Voyagent mal de nos jours?
Travel poorly these days?
Tu partira encore plus lourd
You will leave even heavier
On the road again, again
On the road again, again
On the road again, again
On the road again, again
On the road again, again (oh)
On the road again, again (oh)
On the road again, again (oh)
On the road again, again (oh)
On the road again
On the road again
