Le vent s'engouffre dans ma valise
The wind is blowing into my suitcase
Et sur ma route il y a des trous
And on my way there are holes
J'ai vu tant de rues, j'ai vu tant d'églises
I've seen so many streets, I've seen so many churches
Mais les plus belles étaient chez nous
But the most beautiful were with us
Mon village est loin, à l'autre bout du monde
My village is far away, on the other side of the world
Et ma maison n'est plus qu'une chanson
And my house is just a song
Comme la neige, mes rêves fondent
Like snow, my dreams melt
Buvons, mes frères, les vagabonds
Let's drink, my brothers, the vagabonds
Des caraïbes aux philippines
From the Caribbean to the Philippines
J'ai traîné ma carcasse un peu partout
I've been dragging my carcass all over the place
Mais les chemins qui mènent à nos collines
But the paths that lead to our hills
Avaient des pierres douces à mes pieds nus
Had soft stones to my bare feet
Mes camarades à l'autre bout du monde
My comrades on the other side of the world
C'est bien justice, m'ont oublié
It's justice, have forgotten me
Je leur adresse une colombe
I'm sending them a dove
Buvons, mes frères, à leur santé
Let us drink, my brothers, to their health
Le vent s'engouffre dans ma valise
The wind is blowing into my suitcase
Pourtant la chance est souvent venue
Yet luck has often come
Elle est bien brave, quoi qu'on en dise
She's very brave, no matter what anyone says
Mais il ne faut pas trop dormir dessus
But don't sleep too much on it
La pauvreté manque parfois de charme
Poverty sometimes lacks charm
Mais l'herbe est douce aux malheureux
But the grass is soft to the unfortunate
Pas de discours et plus de larmes
No speeches and no more tears
Venez mes frères me dire adieu
Come my brothers to say goodbye
