Si je te disais la plaine
If I told you the plain
A quelques pas de Charleroi
A few steps from Charleroi
Les ombres dont sont pleines
The shadows of which are full
Mes nuits vous ne me croiriez pas
My nights you wouldn't believe me
Si je te disais la chambre
If I told you the room
A quelques pas de Charleroi
A few steps from Charleroi
Où est mort en décembre
Where died in December
Mon coeur vous ne me croiriez pas
My heart you wouldn't believe me
C'est au cabaret vert comme celui de Rimbaud
It's at the green cabaret like that of Rimbaud
Que tu m'as dit je t'aime
That you told me I love you
Et rien n'était plus beau que cette nuit d'hiver a Waterloo
And nothing was more beautiful than this winter night in Waterloo
Les canons de l'orage
The storm cannons
Étaient pleins de foudre et de feu
Were full of lightning and fire
Comme ils battaient la charge
As they beat the charge
Et toi pour t'amuser un peu
And you to have a little fun
Tu te faisais petite
You made yourself small
Tout contre moi et tu disais
All against me and you said
J'ai peur cache-moi vite
I'm afraid, hide me quickly
N'entends-tu pas les grenadiers
Don't you hear the grenadiers
C'est au cabaret vert comme celui de Rimbaud
It's at the green cabaret like that of Rimbaud
Que tu m'as dit je t'aime
That you told me I love you
Et rien n'était plus beau que cette nuit d'hiver a Waterloo
And nothing was more beautiful than this winter night in Waterloo
Les tambours de la grêle
The hail drums
Battaient la fenêtre au carreau
They beat the window to the pane
Ta robe de dentelle
Your lace dress
Trembla it sur le porte-manteau
Trembled it on the coat rack
Il faut que tu me gardes
You have to keep me
Tu me disais tout contre toi
You told me everything against you
On fait donner la garde
Custody is given
Le canon tonne embrasse-moi
The cannon thunders kiss me
Mais au cabaret vert je n'étais pas Rimbaud
But at the green cabaret I was not Rimbaud
Je te cherche et je t'aime mais où sont les chevaux
I'm looking for you and I love you but where are the horses
Les canons et l'hiver de Waterloo
The cannons and the winter of Waterloo
C'est au cabaret vert comme celui de Rimbaud
It's at the green cabaret like that of Rimbaud
Que tu m'as dit je t'aime et mon coeur est là-haut
That you told me I love you and my heart is up there
Dans la chambre d'hiver à Waterloo
In the winter room at Waterloo
