Là-bas, Zorba, dans son pays
Over there, Zorba, in his land
S'élance, il danse le sirtaki
He leaps, dancing the sirtaki
Déjà, la joie conduit ses pas
Already, joy guides his steps
Viens, il nous tend les bras
Come, he opens his arms to us
Le vent d'orient vient d'apporter
The eastern wind has just brought
Des notes qui flottent au ciel d'été
Notes that float in the summer sky
Déjà je sens que cet air-là
Already I feel that this tune
Va soulever nos pas
Will lift our steps
Si tu veux couvrir de rose
If you want to cover with pink
Tout ce que tu vois en gris
Everything you see in gray
Si tu es vraiment morose
If you're really feeling down
Viens danser le sirtaki
Come dance the sirtaki
Si tu veux que disparaissent
If you want to make disappear
Tes soucis et tes tracas
Your worries and your cares
Si tu cherches ta jeunesse
If you're searching for your youth
Viens danser avec Zorba
Come dance with Zorba
Si tu veux couvrir de rose
If you want to paint in pink
Tout ce que tu vois en gris
Everything you see in gray
Si tu es vraiment morose
If you're really feeling down
Viens danser le sirtaki
Come dance the sirtaki
Là-bas, Zorba, dans son pays
Over there, Zorba, in his land
S'élance, il danse le sirtaki
He leaps, dancing the sirtaki
Déjà, la joie conduit ses pas
Already, joy guides his steps
Viens, il nous tend les bras
Come, he's reaching out to us
