Douce France Lyrics in English Charles Trenet
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Douce France by Charles Trenet from French to English.
Il revient à ma mémoire
Memories return to me
Des souvenirs familiers
Familiar memories
Je revois ma blouse noire
I see my black smock again
Lorsque j'étais écolier
When I was a schoolboy
Sur le chemin de l'école
On the way to school
Je chantais à pleine voix
I sang at the top of my voice
Des romances sans paroles
Romances without words
Vieilles chansons d'autrefois
Old songs of yesteryear
Douce France
Sweet France
Cher pays de mon enfance
Dear country of my childhood
Bercée de tendre insouciance
Cradled in tender lightheartedness
Je t'ai gardée dans mon cœur!
I've kept you in my heart!
Mon village au clocher aux maisons sages
My village with its steeple and modest homes
Où les enfants de mon âge
Where children my age
Ont partagé mon bonheur
Shared my happiness
Oui je t'aime
Yes, I love you
Et je te donne ce poème
And I give you this poem
Oui je t'aime
Yes, I love you
Dans la joie ou la douleur
In joy or in pain
Douce France
Sweet France
Cher pays de mon enfance
