Home / Lyrics Translation / Georges Brassens / Au Bois De Mon Coeur

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Au Bois De Mon Coeur by Georges Brassens from French to English.

In the woods of Clamart

There are little flowers

There are friends

In the woods of my heart

At the back of my yard, I'm renowned

I'm renowned

For having a disreputable heart

A disreputable heart

In the woods of Vincennes

There are little flowers

There are friends

In the woods of my heart

When there's no more wine in my barrel

In my barrel

They are not afraid to drink my water

To drink my water

In the woods of Meudon

There are little flowers

There are friends

In the woods of my heart

They accompany me to the town hall

To the town hall

Every time I get married

In the woods of Saint-Cloud

There are little flowers

There are friends

In the woods of my heart

Every time I die, faithfully

Faithfully

They follow my funeral

My funeral

Little flowers

In the woods of my heart

The song reflects on the beauty of nature, symbolized by the "petites fleurs" (little flowers), and the camaraderie of friends who accompany the narrator through life's significant moments—from joyous celebrations like weddings to the somber reality of funerals. The recurring motif of the "bois" (woods) serves as a metaphor for the narrator's heart, which is described as "mal famé" (ill-famed), suggesting a complex relationship with love and loss. Through its playful yet reflective tone, the song captures the essence of human connection and the bittersweet nature of memories tied to both love and mortality.
