Below, I translated the lyrics of the song So Long Maria by Gérard Lenorman from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Le soleil rouge a brulé nos collines
The red sun burned our hills
Et moi, j'ai le coeur comme du verglas
And I have a heart like ice
Sur la route de 'Sallina' une fille
On the road to 'Sallina' a girl
Avait les mêmes cheveux blonds que toi
Had the same blonde hair as you
Il fait nuit, il fait froid
It's dark, it's cold
So long Maria
So long Maria
C'est sûr que tu es plus heureuse en ville
You're definitely happier in the city
Les ranchs de par-ici sont tous en bois
The ranches around here are all made of wood
Y'a plein d'étoiles au drapeau d'Amérique
There are lots of stars on the American flag
Mais pas une qui soit plus jolies que toi
But no one is prettier than you
Je t'oublie, il faudra
I forget you, it will be necessary
So long Maria
So long Maria
Dimanche, y'a une kermesse dans les Springfield
Sunday, there's a fair in the Springfield
Ca m'aurait fait plaisir que tu soit là
It would have made me happy if you were there
Je verrais tes amis et ta famille
I'll see your friends and family
On parlera surement beaucoup de toi
We will surely talk a lot about you
A bientôt, écris moi
See you soon, write to me
Il fait nuit, il fait froid
It's dark, it's cold
So long Maria
So long Maria
So long Maria
So long Maria
