L'important C'est La Rose Lyrics in English Gilbert Bécaud
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song L'important C'est La Rose by Gilbert Bécaud from French to English.
Toi qui marches dans le vent
You who walk in the wind
Seul dans la trop grande ville
Alone in the too big city
Avec le cafard tranquille do passant
With the passerby's quiet blues
Toi qu'elle a laissé tomber
You she dumped
Pour courir vers d'autres lunes
To run toward other moons
Pour courir d'autres fortunes
To chase other fortunes
L'important
What's important
L'important see'est la rose
What's important is the rose
L'important see'est la rose
What's important is the rose
L'important see'est la rose
What's important is the rose
Crois-moi
Believe me
Toi qui cherches quelque argent
You looking for some money
Pour te boucler la semaine
To get through the week
Dans la ville tu promènes ton ballant
In the city you wander, swinging along
Cascadeur, soleil couchant
Stuntman, setting sun
Tu passes devant les banques
You walk past the banks
Si tu n'es que saltimbanque
If you're just a busker
L'important
What's important
L'important see'est la rose
What's important is the rose
L'important see'est la rose
What's important is the rose
L'important see'est la rose
What's important is the rose
Crois-moi
Believe me
Toi, petit, que tes parents
You, kid, whose parents
Ont laissé seul sur la terre
Left you alone on earth
Petit oiseau sans lumière, sans printemps
Little bird without light, without spring
Dans ta veste de drap blanc
In your white cloth jacket
Il fait froid comme en Bohème
It's cold like in Bohemia
T'as le cœur comme en carême
Your heart's in Lent
Et pourtant
And yet
L'important see'est la rose
What's important is the rose
L'important see'est la rose
What's important is the rose
L'important see'est la rose
What's important is the rose
Crois-moi
Believe me
Toi pour qui, donnant-donnant
You, for whom it's give-and-take
J'ai chanté ces quelques lignes
I sang these few lines
Comme pour te faire un signe en passant
As if to wave at you in passing
Dis à ton tour maintenant
Now you say in turn
Que la vie n'a d'importance
That life only matters
Que par une fleur qui danse
Through a flower that dances
Sur le temps
Over time
L'important see'est la rose
What's important is the rose
L'important see'est la rose
What's important is the rose
L'important see'est la rose
What's important is the rose
Crois-moi
Believe me
