Font-Romeu
Font-Romeu
Quand je revois mes souvenirs
When I revisit my memories
Je pense encore à l'ermitage
I still think of the hermitage
Où j'aimerais tant revenir
Where I long to return
Pour admirer le paysage.
To admire the landscape.
Font-Romeu,
Font-Romeu,
Font-Romeu, la forêt,
Font-Romeu, the forest,
Font-Romeu, mes amours,
Font-Romeu, my loves,
Font-Romeu, mes promenades.
Font-Romeu, my strolls.
Font-Romeu, quelques bons camarades
Font-Romeu, a few good friends
Et toi ma blonde amie
And you, my fair friend
Plus belle que ces beaux jours.
More beautiful than these lovely days.
Font-Romeu,
Font-Romeu,
Quand le soir descendait
When evening descended
Les nuages de la vallée
The clouds of the valley
N'atteignaient pas les cimes
Did not reach the peaks
Et comme elles
And like them
Nos deux cœurs étaient purs
Our two hearts were pure
Ignorant dans l'azur
Ignorant in the azure
Le brouillard des abîmes
The fog of the abysses
Et comme elles
And like them
Mes souv'nirs sont restés pareils
My memories have stayed the same
Aux beaux jours du soleil
As the beautiful days of sunshine
Et du ciel bleu
And of the blue sky
Font-Romeu.
Font-Romeu.
