Âme, te souvient-il au fond du paradis
Soul, he remembers you at the bottom of paradise
De la gare d'Auteuil et des trains de jadis
From Auteuil station and the trains of yesteryear
T'amenant chaque jour, venu de la Chapelle
Bringing you every day, from the Chapel
Jadis déjà Combien pourtant je me rappelle
Long ago already How much yet I remember
Après les premiers mots de bonjour et d'accueil
After the first words of hello and welcome
Mon vieux bras dans le tien, nous quittions cet Auteuil
My old arm in yours, we left this Auteuil
Et, sous les arbres pleins d'une gente musique
And, under the trees full of sweet music
Notre entretien était souvent métaphysique
Our interview was often metaphysical
Ô tes forts arguments, ta foi du charbonnier
O your strong arguments, your faith of the coal burner
Non sans quelque tendance, ô si franche à nier
Not without some tendency, oh so frank to deny
Mais si vite quittée au premier pas du doute
But so quickly left at the first step of doubt
Et puis nous rentrions, plus que lents, par la route
And then we returned, more than slowly, by road
Un peu des écoliers, chez moi, chez nous plutôt
A bit like schoolchildren, at my house, at ours rather
Y déjeuner de rien, fumailler vite et tôt
Lunch there, smoke quickly and early
Et dépêcher longtemps une vague besogne
And hurry up a vague task for a long time
Mon pauvre enfant, ta voix dans le bois de Boulogne
My poor child, your voice in the Bois de Boulogne
