Il rêvait d'une ville étrangère
He dreamed of a foreign city
Une ville de filles et de jeux
A city of girls and games
Il voulait vivre d'autres manières
He wanted to live in other ways
Dans un autre milieu
In another environment
Il rêvait sur son chemin de pierres
He dreamed on his stone path
'je partirai demain, si je veux
'I'll leave tomorrow, if I want to
J'ai la force qu'il faut pour le faire
I have the strength to do it
Et j'irai trouver mieux'
And I'll get better'
Il voulait trouver mieux
He wanted to find something better
Que son lopin de terre
That his piece of land
Que son vieil arbre tordu au milieu
Let his old tree twisted in the middle
Trouver mieux que la douce lumière
Find better than soft light
Du soir près du feu
Evening by the fire
Qui réchauffait son père
Warming up his father
Et la troupe entière de ses aïeux
And the whole troop of his forefathers
Le soleil sur les murs de poussière
The sun on the dust walls
Il voulait trouver mieux
He wanted to find something better
Il a fait tout le tour de la terre
He went all the way around the earth
Il a même demandé à dieu

Il a fait tout l'amour de la terre
He made all the love of the earth
Il n'a pas trouvé mieux
He couldn't find a better
Il a croisé les rois de naguère
He crossed the kings of yester years
Tout drapés de diamants et de feu
All draped in diamonds and fire
Même dans les châteaux des rois de naguère
Even in the castles of the kings of yester years
Il n'a pas trouvé mieux
He couldn't find a better
Il n'a pas trouvé mieux
He couldn't find a better
Que son lopin de terre
That his piece of land
Que son vieil arbre tordu au milieu
Let his old tree twisted in the middle
Trouver mieux que la douce lumière
Find better than soft light
Du soir près du feu
Evening by the fire
Qui réchauffait son père
Warming up his father
Et la troupe entière de ses aïeux
And the whole troop of his forefathers
Le soleil sur les murs de poussière
The sun on the dust walls
Il n'a pas trouvé mieux

Il a dit 'je retourne en arrière
He said 'I'm going back
Je n'ai pas trouvé ce que je veux'

Il a dit 'je retourne en arrière'
He said 'I'm going back'
Il s'est brûlé les yeux
He burned his eyes
Il s'est brûlé les yeux
He burned his eyes
Sur son lopin de terre
On his piece of land
Sur son vieil arbre tordu au milieu
On his old twisted tree in the middle
Aux reflets de la douce lumière
To the reflections of the soft light
Du soir près du feu
Evening by the fire
Qui réchauffait son père
Warming up his father
Et la troupe entière de ses aïeux
And the whole troop of his forefathers
Le soleil sur les murs de poussière
The sun on the dust walls
Il s'est brûlé les yeux
