These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Le long de l'herbe, l'eau coule et fait des ronds
Along the grass, the water flows and makes rounds
Le ciel superbe éblouit les environs
The beautiful sky dazzles the surroundings
Le grand soleil joue aux boules
The great sun plays balls
Avec les pommiers fleuris
With flowering apple trees
Le bal, devant l'eau qui coule
The ball, in front of the flowing water
Rabâche des airs de paris
Rehashing the tunes of bets
Danse, danse, au bal de la chance
Dance, dance, at the Ball of Luck
Danse, danse, ma rêverie
Dance, dance, my daydream
Les parasols sur la berge en gestes lents
Umbrellas on the riverbank in slow gestures
Saluent d'une révérence, les chalands
Greet with reverence, the barges
Tandis qu'une fille danse
While a girl dances
Dans les bras d'un marinier
In the arms of a sailor
Le ciel fait des imprudences
The sky is careless
Mais l'amour n'est pas le dernier
But love is not the last
Danse, danse, au bal de la chance
Dance, dance, at the Ball of Luck
Danse, danse, au ciel printanier
Dance, dance, spring sky
Le vent, tournant dans les feuilles des bosquets
The wind, turning in the leaves of the groves
Avec le chant des pinsons, fait des bouquets
With the singing of finches, made bouquets
Mais elle n'écoute guère
But she doesn't listen
Que les mots de ce garçon
Let the words of this boy
Des mots d'amour si vulgaires
Such vulgar words of love
Qu'ils font rire au ciel les pinsons
Let them make the finches laugh in heaven
Danse, danse, au bal de la chance
Dance, dance, at the Ball of Luck
Danse, danse, avec ma chanson
Dance, dance, with my song
Je pense encore à ce jour de l'an dernier
I'm still thinking about this day last year
Sur mon épaule, mon rêve est prisonnier
On my shoulder, my dream is a prisoner
Cela n'a ni queue ni tête
It has no tail or head
Pourtant, j'ai le cœur bien gros
Still, my heart is very big
Pour les marins en goguette
For sailors in a gutter
L'amour, ça coule au fil de l'eau
Love flows over the water
Danse, danse, au bal de la chance
Dance, dance, at the Ball of Luck
Danse, danse, mon cœur d'oiseau
Dance, dance, my bird's heart
