These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Dors ma mie
Sleep my grania
Dehors la nuit est noire
Outside the night is dark
Dors ma mie bonsoir
Sleep my good night meme
Dors ma mie
Sleep my grania
C'est notre dernier soir
This is our last night
Dors ma mie bonsoir
Sleep my good night meme
Sur les fleurs qui ferment leurs paupières
On flowers that close their eyelids
Pleure la pluie légère
Weeps the light rain
Et l'oiseau qui chantera l'aurore
And the bird that will sing the aurora
Dors et rêve encor'
Sleep and dream encor'
Ainsi demain déjà
So tomorrow already
Serai seul à nouveau
Will be alone again
Et tu m'auras perdu
And you'll have lost me
Rien qu'en me voulant trop
Just by wanting me too much
Tu m'auras gaspillé
You'll have wasted me
A te vouloir bâtir
Wanting to build you
Un bonheur éternel
Eternal happiness
Ennuyeux à périr
Boring to perish
Au lieu de te pencher
Instead of bending over
Vers moi tout simplement
To me simply
Moi qui avais besoin
I needed
Si fort de ton printemps
So strong of your spring
Non les filles que l'on aime
Not the girls we love
Ne comprendront jamais
Will never understand
Qu'elles sont à chaque fois
That they are always
Notre dernier muguet
Our last thrush
Notre dernière chance
Our last chance
Notre dernier sursaut
Our last start
Notre dernier départ notre dernier bateau
Our last departure our last boat
Dors ma mie
Sleep my grania
Dehors la nuit est noire
Outside the night is dark
Dors ma mie bonsoir
Sleep my good night meme
Dors ma mie c'est notre dernier soir
Sleep my grania is our last night
Dors ma mie je pars
Sleep my grania I'm 19th
