Voici
Here
Qu'un ciel penche ses nuages
Let a sky bend its clouds
Sur ces chemins d'italie
On these paths of Italy
Pour amoureux sans bagages
For lovers without luggage
Voici
Here
Des coteaux en ribambelles
Hillsides in ribambelles
Pour enrubanner nos vies
To wrap our lives
De vins clairs de fleurs nouvelles
Clear wines with new flowers
Voici
Here
Des cloches sonnant la fête
Bells ringing the party
Des fêtes pour que l'on rit
Parties to laugh
Des rires que rien n'arrête
Laughs that nothing stops
Voici
Here
Des amours en robe blanche
Loves in white dress
Moitié fleur et moitié fruit
Half flower and half fruit
Que nous jalousent les anges
Let us jealousy the angels
Voici
Here
Des échos qui font la chaîne
Echoes that make the chain
Pour porter à l'infini
To bring to infinity
Nos 'toujours' et nos 'je t'aime'
Our 'always' and our 'I love you'
Voici
Here
Des promesses de saint-jean
Promises of Saint-jean
Des saint-jean qui durent la vie
Saint-jeans that last a lifetime
Des vies qu'épargne le temps
Lives that save time
Voici
Here
Certains sourires de nos pères
Some of our fathers' smiles
Que l'on recherche la nuit
Whether you're looking for the night
Pour mieux calmer sa colère
To better calm his anger
Voici
Here
Qu'au carrefour des amitiés
That at the crossroads of friendships
La douleur s'évanouit
The pain fades
Broyée par nos mains serrées
Crushed by our hands clasped
Voici
Here
Qu'en nos faubourgs délavés
That in our washed-out suburbs
Des prêtres en litanies
Priests in litany
Sont devenus ouvriers
Have become workers
Voici
Here
Des mains ridées de courage
Wrinkled hands of courage
Qui caressent l'établi
Caressing the workbench
D'où jaillit la belle ouvrage
From where the beautiful work springs
Voici
Here
Ces fleurs poussant en pagaille
These flowers growing in a mess
Entre nous et l'ennemi
Between us and the enemy
Pour empêcher la bataille
To prevent the battle
Voici
Here
