Une fleur à sa guitare

Quatre rubans de couleur
Four colored ribbons
Ces rubans ont une histoire
These ribbons have a story
C'est l'histoire de son cœur
This is the story of his heart
Toute la nuit il a joué
All night he played
J'avais le cœur qui tremblait
My heart was trembling
Il m'a raconté l'histoire
He told me the story
Des rubans et de son cœur
Ribbons and his heart
Et la fleur, dis?
And the flower, say?
Et la fleur?
And the flower?
Elle n'a donc pas d'histoire
So it has no history
Et la fleur, dis?
And the flower, say?
Et la fleur?
And the flower?
Parle-moi d'elle ce soir
Tell me about her tonight
Il y avait un ruban gris
There was a gray ribbon
Pour sa mère et son pays

Qui en partant lui ont dit
Who when leaving told him
Aller, bon vent mon petit
Come on, good luck my little one
Il y avait un ruban bleu
There was a blue ribbon
Pour les filles aux jolis yeux
For girls with pretty eyes
Qu'il rencontrait en chemin

Qu'il oubliait le matin

La fleur, tu me l'as donnée
