Nos plus beaux souvenirs fleurissent sur l'étang
Our most beautiful memories bloom on the pond
Dans le lointain châteaux d'une lointaine Espagne
In the distant castles of distant Spain
Ils nous disent le temps perdu ô ma compagne
They tell us about wasted time, my companion
Et ce blanc nénuphar c'est ton coeur de vingt ans
And this white water lily is your twenty-year-old heart
Un jour nous nous embarquerons
One day we will embark
Sur l'étang de nos souvenirs
On the pond of our memories
Et referons pour le plaisir
And we'll do it again for fun
Le voyage doux de la vie
The gentle journey of life
Un jour nous nous embarquerons
One day we will embark
Mon doux Pierrot ma grande amie
My sweet Pierrot my great friend
Pour ne plus jamais revenir
To never return again
Nos mauvais souvenirs se noieront dans l'étang
Our bad memories will drown in the pond
De ce lointain château d'une lointaine Espagne
From this distant castle in distant Spain
Et nous ne garderons pour nous ô ma compagne
And we will not keep for ourselves oh my companion
Que ce blanc nénuphar et ton coeur de vingt ans

Un jour nous nous embarquerons
One day we will embark
Sur l'étang de nos souvenirs
