Une Belle Histoire Lyrics in English Michel Fugain , Le Big Bazar
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Une Belle Histoire by Michel Fugain from French to English.
C'est un beau roman, c'est une belle histoire
It's a lovely novel, it's a beautiful story
C'est une romance d'aujourd'hui
It's a romance of today
Il rentrait chez lui, là-haut vers le brouillard
He was heading home, up there toward the fog
Elle descendait dans le Midi, le Midi
She was going down to the South, the South
Ils se sont trouvés au bord du chemin
They met on the side of the road
Sur l'autoroute des vacances
On the vacation highway
C'était sans doute un jour de chance
It was no doubt a lucky day
Ils avaient le ciel à portée de main
They had the sky within reach
Un cadeau de la providence
A gift from providence
Alors pourquoi penser au lendemain?
So why think about tomorrow?
Ils se sont cachés dans un grand champ de blé
They hid in a wide wheat field
Se laissant porter par les courants
Letting themselves be carried by the currents
Se sont racontés leurs vies qui commençaient
They told each other their lives that were just beginning
Ils n'étaient encore que des enfants, des enfants
They were still only kids, kids
Qui s'étaient trouvés au bord du chemin
Who had met on the side of the road
Sur l'autoroute des vacances
On the vacation highway
C'était sans doute un jour de chance
It was no doubt a lucky day
Qui cueillirent le ciel au creux de leurs mains
Who gathered the sky in the hollow of their hands
Comme on cueille la providence
Like you pick providence
Refusant de penser au lendemain
Refusing to think about tomorrow
C'est un beau roman, c'est une belle histoire
It's a lovely novel, it's a beautiful story
C'est une romance d'aujourd'hui
It's a romance of today
Il rentrait chez lui, là-haut vers le brouillard
He was heading home, up there toward the fog
Elle descendait dans le midi, le midi
She was going down to the South, the South
Ils se sont quittés au bord du matin
They parted at the edge of morning
Sur l'autoroute des vacances
On the vacation highway
C'était fini le jour de chance
The lucky day was over
Ils reprirent alors chacun leur chemin
Then they each went back on their way
Saluèrent la providence en se faisant un signe de la main
They thanked providence with a wave of the hand
Il rentra chez lui, là-haut vers le brouillard
He went back home, up there toward the fog
Elle est descendue là-bas dans le Midi
She went down there to the South
C'est un beau roman, c'est une belle histoire
It's a lovely novel, it's a beautiful story
C'est une romance d'aujourd'hui
It's a romance of today
