J'ai tous les fruits de la terre
I have all the fruits of the earth
les plus doux, les plus doux, les plus doux.
the sweetest, the sweetest, the sweetest.
Je ne les vends pas bien cher
I don't sell them for much at all
quelques sous, quelques sous, quelques sous.
just a few coins, just a few coins, just a few coins.
J'ai tous les fruits de la terre
I have all the fruits of the earth
les plus doux, les plus doux, les plus doux.
the sweetest, the sweetest, the sweetest.
Ils n'ont traversé la mer
They crossed the sea
que pour vous, que pour vous, que pour vous.
just for you, just for you, just for you.
Vous emporterez chez vous
You'll take home with you
tous les bouquets, les senteurs
all the bouquets, the scents
que nous apporte la houle
what the swell brings us
les matins chargés de fleurs.
the mornings heavy with flowers.
Vous emporterez aussi
You will carry away as well
mille grappes de soleil
a thousand clusters of sunshine
qui scintillent à l'infini
that sparkle into infinity
sous les branches dès le réveil.
under the branches at dawn.
Second Refrain
Second Chorus
Et moi, et moi
And me, and me
sur un bateau tout blanc
on a pure white boat
j'irai là-bas
I will go over there
parée d'or et d'argent.
adorned with gold and silver.
Et là, et là
And there, and there
j'écouterai en rêvant
I'll listen while dreaming
pour moi, pour moi
for me, for me
crier tous les marchands.
shouting all the merchants.
Premier Refrain
First Chorus
Vous emporterez chez vous
You will take home
un reflet de l'océan
a reflection of the ocean
qui danse devant la proue
that dances before the bow
des navires insouciants.
of carefree ships.
Vous emporterez aussi
You will also take away
une brassée de sourires
a handful of smiles
que les enfants de mon île
that the children of my island
m'ont donnés pour vous offrir.
gave me to offer to you.
