Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Rockstars Du Moyen Âge by Francis Cabrel from French to English.
Y'a pas de langues anciennes
There are no ancient languages
C'est la même toujours
It's always the same
Pour dire les mêmes peines
To tell the same sorrows
Jurer les mêmes amours
To swear the same loves
C'est écrit dans vos pages
It's written in your pages
En mieux et bien avant nous
Better and long before us
Rockstars del Medio d'Atge
Rockstars of the Middle Age
S'endavalèm de vos
We descend from you
Vous, c'est un trait de plume
You, it's a pen stroke
C'est le pas des chevaux
It's the horses' pace
C'est chanter à vos Dames
It's singing to your Ladies
Tout ce qu'il y a de plus beau
All that is most beautiful
Leurs âmes et leurs visages
Their souls and their faces
Loin au-dessus de tout
Far above everything
Rockstars del Medio d'Atge
Rockstars of the Middle Age
S'endavalèm de vos
We descend from you
La fille à la fenêtre
The girl at the window
Qui chante les yeux clos
Who sings with closed eyes
Cherche à se reconnaitre
Seeks to find herself
Dans chacun de vos mots
In each of your words
Ça vaut bien d'avantage
That's well worth more
Que le plus lourd bijou
Than the heaviest jewel
Rockstars del Medio d'Atge
Rockstars of the Middle Age
S'endavalèm de vos
We descend from you
Avec pour seule armure
With for only armor
La peau d'un tambourin
The skin of a tambourine
Sous la hauteurs des murs
Under the heights of the walls
Sous le balcon éteint
Under the darkened balcony
Où la Belle est en cage
Where the Beauty is in a cage
Et sans amant jaloux
And without a jealous lover
Rockstars del Medio d'Atge
Rockstars of the Middle Age
S'endavalèm de vos
We descend from you
La filha a son fenestron
The girl at her small window
Canta los uèlhs barrats
Sings with closed eyes
E dins cada cançon
And in each song
Espera se trobar
Hopes to find herself
Aquò val fòrça mai
That's worth much more
Qu'un polit joalhon
Than a pretty jewel
Rockstars du Moyen Age
Rockstars of the Middle Age
Nous descendons de vous
We descend from you
Jaufré Rudel, Guillaume
Jaufré Rudel, Guillaume
Bernard de Ventadour
Bernard de Ventadour
Pèire, Bertran de Born

Cent autres troubadours
A hundred other troubadours
On veille à l'héritage
We watch over the heritage
Guitares autour du cou
Guitars around our necks
Rockstars del Medio d'Atge
Rockstars of the Middle Age
S'endavalèm de vos
We descend from you

troubadours — troubadours
Troubadours refers to medieval poet-musicians, primarily from Occitania, who composed and performed lyrical poetry.
In this song, Francis Cabrel pays homage to these historical figures, calling them the "Rockstars du Moyen Âge" (Rockstars of the Middle Ages). The word is central to the song's theme, drawing a parallel between the ancient art of the troubadours and modern rock music, making it a unique and culturally rich choice.
