C'est une bien gentille maison
It's a very nice house
Sans trop d'rimes ni d'raison
Without too much rhyme or reason
La maison du poète
The poet's house
Elle murmure soir et matin
She whispers evening and morning
Des musiques des p'tits riens
Music from little nothings
Qui mettent le coeur en fête
Who celebrate the heart
Quand il fait beau tous les oiseaux du ciel
When the weather is nice all the birds in the sky
Viennent se poser sur son toit rouge et calme
Come to rest on its calm red roof
Quand vient l'hiver son refrain éternel
When winter comes its eternal refrain
Évoque alors les golfes clairs les palmes
Evokes then the clear gulfs the palms
Et chacun porte dans son coeur
And everyone carries in their heart
Un écho de son bonheur
An echo of his happiness
Qui rend la vie sur terre
Who brings life to earth
Plus troublante dans ses mystères
More disturbing in its mysteries
Et l'on aime sans façons
And we love without fuss
Du poète la maison
From the poet the house
Où se trouve donc ce logis
Where is this house located?
Dans quel joli coin de France
In what a pretty corner of France
Est-ce aux portes du grand Paris
Is it at the gates of greater Paris
En Bretagne ou en Provence
In Brittany or Provence
Ou bien lorsque tombe la nuit
Or when night falls
Quand le rideau laissant le soleil
When the curtain leaves the sun
Cette maison vient-elle sans bruit
Does this house come without noise
Du fond du beau pays des rêves
From the depths of the beautiful land of dreams
Quand il fait beau tous les oiseaux du ciel
When the weather is nice all the birds in the sky
Viennent se poser sur son toit rouge et calme
Come to rest on its calm red roof
Quand vient l'hiver son refrain éternel
When winter comes its eternal refrain
Evoque alors les golfes clairs les palmes
Evokes then the clear gulfs the palms
Mais chacun porte dans son coeur
But everyone carries in their heart
Un écho de son bonheur
An echo of his happiness
Qui rend la vie sur terre
Who brings life to earth
Plus troublante dans ses mystères
More disturbing in its mysteries
Et l'on aime sans façons
And we love without fuss
Du poète la maison
From the poet the house
