En Revenant De Quebec Lyrics in English Charles Aznavour
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song En Revenant De Quebec by Charles Aznavour from French to English.
Un garçon solitaire
A lonely boy
Marchait sans trop s'en faire
Walked without worrying too much
En revenant de Québec
Coming back from Quebec
Quand il vit souriante
When he lives smiling
Une jolie passante
A pretty passerby
En revenant de Québec
Coming back from Quebec
Elle marchait légère
She walked lightly
Il se dit j'aimerai faire
He said to himself I would like to do
Un brin de chemin avec
A bit of a journey with
Mademoiselle en campagne
Mademoiselle in the countryside
Devenez ma compagne
Become my companion
Souffrez que je vous accompagne
Allow me to accompany you
En revenant de Québec
Coming back from Quebec
Une jolie frimousse
A pretty face
Et lui avait du style
And he had style
Un beau profil
A beautiful profile
Avec ça il
With that he
Avait une voix très douce
Had a very soft voice
Pour mieux faire connaissance
To get to know each other better
Ils ralentirent le pas
They slowed down
Elle marchait à distance
She walked at a distance
Il la prit par le bras
He took her by the arm
Un couple solitaire
A lonely couple
Marchait sans trop s'en faire
Walked without worrying too much
En revenant de Québec
Coming back from Quebec
Elle était souriante
She was smiling
Comme elle était charmante
How charming she was
En revenant de Québec
Coming back from Quebec
Pris d'une ardeur bizarre
Taken by a strange ardor
Soudain sans crier gare
Suddenly without warning
Il lui vola un bec
He stole a beak
Elle restait indécise
She remained undecided
Profitant de sa surprise
Taking advantage of his surprise
Il lui reprit d'autres bises
He gave her more kisses
En revenant de Québec
Coming back from Quebec
L'amour avec audace
Love boldly
Dans le cœur prit sa place
In the heart took its place
En revenant de Québec
Coming back from Quebec
Comme il était sincère
How sincere he was
Bien vite ils se marièrent
Very quickly they got married
En revenant de Québec
Coming back from Quebec
Bientôt dans la famille
Soon in the family
Il y eut une petite fille
There was a little girl
Et un garçon avec
And a boy with
Et jugez de leur aubaine
And judge of their boon
Au bout de cinq ans à peine
After just five years
Ils en eurent une douzaine
They had a dozen
En revenant de Québec
Coming back from Quebec
En revenant de Québec
Coming back from Quebec
