Le Laboureur Et Ses Enfants Lyrics in English Grégoire
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Laboureur Et Ses Enfants by Grégoire from French to English.
Travaillez, prenez de la peine
Work, take the trouble
C'est le fonds qui manque le moins
It's the capital that is least lacking
Un riche Laboureur, sentant sa mort prochaine
A wealthy Farmer, feeling his death near
Fit venir ses enfants, leur parla sans témoins
Called his children, spoke to them without witnesses
Gardez-vous, leur dit-il, de vendre l'héritage
Beware, he told them, of selling the inheritance
Que nous ont laissé nos parents
That our parents left us
Un trésor est caché dedans
A treasure is hidden inside
Je ne sais pas l'endroit, mais un peu de courage
I don't know the place, but a little courage
Vous le fera trouver, vous en viendrez à bout
Will make you find it, you will succeed
Remuez votre champ dès qu'on aura fait l'Oût
Turn over your field as soon as August is done
Creusez, fouiller, bêchez, ne laissez nulle place
Dig, search, hoe, leave no place
Où la main ne passe et repasse
Where the hand does not pass and repass
Le père mort, les fils vous retournent le champ
The father dead, the sons turn over the field
Deçà, delà, partout, si bien qu'au bout de l'an
Here, there, everywhere, so well that at the end of the year
Il en rapporta davantage
It yielded more
D'argent, point de caché
Of money, none hidden
Mais le père fut sage
But the father was wise
De leur montrer avant sa mort
To show them before his death
Que le travail est un trésor
That work is a treasure
