Gitan Lyrics in English Garou

Home / Lyrics Translation / Garou / Gitan

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Gitan by Garou from French to English.

Gypsy

As a child, I dreamed

Of living free like a gypsy

I pictured beaches

Of black sand

Where wild horses ran

And I'd draw in my notebooks

The secret paths

Of the mountains of Spain

Gypsy

Later on

I was learning my first guitar chords

I'd hit the road without luggage

Dreaming

Of other landscapes

Where I'd follow the travelers

In their caravans

To the sound of gypsy violins

To live my life like a gypsy

Having music in my blood

And for love, to only be obsessed with

Just one woman at a time

To live my life like a gypsy

To live my life as I please

Having freedom as my flag

No faith, no law for a creed

Gypsy

I am one and I'll stay one

For as long as I live

My guitars are from America

And my landscapes

Are great white spaces

Where I drive alone in my caravan

In eternal exile

In the city jungle

living my life like a gypsy

Having music in my blood

And for love, to only be obsessed with

Just one woman at a time

To live my life like a gypsy

To live my life as I please

Having freedom as my flag

No faith, no law for a creed

Lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai

Lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai

Lai lai lai lai lai lai

living my life like a gypsy

Having music in my blood

And for love, to only be obsessed with

Just one woman at a time

Lai lai lai lai lai

Lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai lai

Lai lai lai lai lai lai

To live my life like a gypsy

Making my living from thin air

Having freedom as my flag

No faith, no law for a creed
