La Fille Aux Pieds Nus Lyrics in English by Dalida
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Fille Aux Pieds Nus by Dalida from Italian to English.
Toi la fille aux pieds nus
You, the barefoot girl
Princesse de la rue
Princess of the street
Tu régnais sur la ville
You reigned over the city
Avec tes yeux tranquilles
With your calm eyes
Amante sans amant, rivière sans diamant
Lover without a lover, river without a diamond
À quel jeu jouais-tu, toi la fille aux pieds nus?
What game were you playing, you, the barefoot girl?
À quel jeu jouais-tu, toi la fille aux pieds nus?
What game were you playing, you, the barefoot girl?
À quel jeu jouais-tu, toi la fille aux pieds nus?
What game were you playing, you, the barefoot girl?
Ce n'était qu'une enfant
She was just a child
Malgré ses airs de femme
Despite her womanly airs
Elle allait les pieds nus
She walked barefoot
Dans les rues mal pavées
In the poorly paved streets
Elle narguait les gens
She defied people
Elle troublait les âmes
She troubled souls
Offrant aux inconnus le droit de l'admirer
Offering strangers the right to admire her
Elle regardait de haut la mer sur le rivage
She looked down at the sea on the shore
Se couchait à ses pieds, mais elle ne disait rien
Lay down at its feet, but she said nothing
Les gars voyaient dans l'eau son étrange visage
The guys saw her strange face in the water
Cherchant à deviner ce qu'elle cachait si bien
Trying to guess what she hid so well
Toi la fille aux pieds nus
You, the barefoot girl
Princesse de la rue
Princess of the street
Tu régnais sur la ville
You reigned over the city
Avec tes yeux tranquilles
With your calm eyes
Dis, la fille aux pieds nus
Tell me, barefoot girl
Quelle fille étais-tu?
What kind of girl were you?
Madone sans évangile, à quel jeu jouais-tu?
Madonna without a gospel, what game were you playing?
À quel jeu jouais-tu, toi la fille aux pieds nus?
What game were you playing, you, the barefoot girl?
À quel jeu jouais-tu, toi la fille aux pieds nus?
What game were you playing, you, the barefoot girl?
Mais un jour, au p'tit jour
But one day, at dawn
Il y avait la tempête
There was a storm
Un bateau est venu se pencher le long du quai
A boat came to lean along the quay
Les gens des alentours ont vu de leur fenêtre
The people from around saw from their window
La fillette aux pieds nus le cœur près d'éclater
The barefoot girl with her heart about to burst
Un homme a débarqué parmi les cris de rage
A man disembarked amidst cries of rage
Que le vent sur la mer lançait aux quatre vents
That the wind on the sea cast to the four winds
Et nul n'a remarqué qu'au milieu de l'orage
And no one noticed that in the middle of the storm
De la pluie, des éclairs, s'enlaçaient deux amants
Of the rain, the lightning, two lovers embraced
Toi la fille aux pieds nus
You, the barefoot girl
Princesse de la rue
Princess of the street
Au bras de 1'inconnu
In the arms of the stranger
Tu as quitté la ville
You left the city
L'amour comme un voleur nous a volé ton cœur
Love like a thief stole your heart from us
Dans quelle rue de quelle ville as-tu donc disparu?
In what street of what city did you then disappear?
Où as-tu disparu, toi la fille aux pieds nus?
Where did you disappear, you, the barefoot girl?
Où as-tu disparu, toi la fille aux pieds nus?
Where did you disappear, you, the barefoot girl?
La la la, la la la, la la la
La la la, la la la, la la la
