Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Syracuse by Yves Montand from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
J'aimerais tant voir Syracuse, l'Île de Pâques et Kairouan
I would love to see Syracuse, Easter Island and Kairouan
Et les grands oiseaux qui s'amusent à glisser l'aile sous le vent
And the big birds that have fun gliding their wings downwind
Voir les jardins de Babylone et le palais du Grand Lama
See the Gardens of Babylon and the Palace of the Grand Lama
Rêver des amants de Vérone au sommet du Fuji Yama
Dreaming of Verona lovers at the top of Fuji Yama
Voir le pays du matin calme, aller pêcher au cormoran
See the land of the calm morning, go cormorant fishing
Et m'enivrer de vin de palme en écoutant chanter le vent
And get drunk on palm wine while listening to the wind sing
Avant que ma jeunesse s'use et que mes printemps soient partis
Before my youth wears out and my springs are gone
J'aimerais tant voir Syracuse pour m'en souvenir à Paris
I would love to see Syracuse to remember it in Paris
