1. T'étos là comme einne montagne bien à plache

   You're there like a mountain standing tall

2. Té faisos partie ed'nou paysache

   You are part of our homeland after all

3. Qui d'nou pères i aurot pinsé que ch'terril

   Who among our fathers would have thought that this hill

4. Par un bieau jour i strot évanoui

   On a beautiful day would suddenly disappear

5. Bin mes pauves gins i faudra bien s'y faire

   Well, my poor folks will have to get used to it

6. Y'a disparu min viux terril d'Rimbert

   My old hill of Rimbert has vanished without a trace

7. Bin mes pauves gins i faudra bien s'y faire

   Well, my poor folks will have to get used to it

8. Y'a disparu min viux terril d'Rimbert

   My old hill of Rimbert has vanished without a trace

9. Quand j'étos gosse ej' grimpos sur tin dos

   When I was a kid I used to climb on your back

10. Si y avot pas d'garte vite in s'faufilot

    If there was no guard, we'd slip away fast

11. Parmi chés rals chés aiguillaches chés bos

    Among the rafts and the rough edges of the woods

12. Et tout l'fourbi qui traînot sus ch'carreau

    And all the clutter that lingers on the floor

13. Et in grimpot tout in haut dins l'poussière

    And a climb all the way up in the dust

14. Y'a disparu min viux terril d'Rimbert

    My old spoil heap of Rimbert has vanished

15. Et in grimpot tout in haut dins l'poussière

    And a climb all the way up in the dust

16. Y'a disparu min viux terril d'Rimbert

    My old spoil heap of Rimbert has vanished

17. T'étos un témoin d'l'ouvrache ed' nou pères

    You were a witness to the work of our fathers

18. Qui ont ouvré tout leu vie ed'sous l'terre

    Who toiled all their lives beneath the earth

19. Pour t'construire y a fallu plus d 'cent vingt ans

    To build you took more than a hundred and twenty years

20. Et ravise in n'parle plus d'ti in rien d'temps

    And now let's not speak of you as if there's no time left

21. T'es parti rogné par chés bull-dozers

    You left, crushed by bulldozers

22. J 'te dis adieu min viux terril d'Rimbert

    I say goodbye, my old mound of Rimbert

23. J'restos juste in face quand j'n'étos qu'un jonne

    I just stay put when I was just a young lad

24. L'ravisos monter déchint' el'crinquonne

    The ravishing climbs disrupt the grind

25. Chés berlines s'croisottent toudis à l'même plache

    The sedans always crowd onto the same square

26. Et tout l'journée faire leu remue-ménache

    And all day long stirring up a ruckus

27. Pour aller baller in haut l'mécante terre

    To go dancing high, the stubborn earth

28. Et dire qu'i est parti min terril d'Rimbert

    And to say that he left my mound of Rimbert

29. Pour aller baller in haut l'mécante terre

    To go dancing high, the stubborn earth

30. Et dire qu'i est parti min terril d'Rimbert

    And to say that he left my mound of Rimbert

31. J'souris quand même parce que j'pinse à quitte cosse

    I still smile because I think of escaping this shell

32. Tous chés gins qui s'sont fait mourir à l'fosse

    All those souls who met their end in the pit

33. In' s' doutottent pas in armontant ch' carbon

    They don't suspect a thing, just stacking the coal

34. Que l'terre servirot à leu tits garchons

    That the earth will serve to our little boys

35. I n' in frottent einne tête nou arrières grands 'pères

    They don't rub against the head of our grandfathers

36. Ed'vir qu'i n'existe pus ch'terril d'Rimbert

    To say that this land of Rimbert no longer exists

    They don't rub against the head of our grandfathers

38. Ed'vir qu'i n'existe pus ch'terril d'Rimbert

39. Tetos un temoin d'l'ouvrache ed'sous l'terre

    You left, crushed by those bulldozers

43. J'te dis adieu min viux terril d'rimbert

    I say goodbye, my old hill of Rimbert

44. Chés éfants et pitits éfants d'mineurs

    The children and little children of miners

45. I veul'nt du schiste dins n'allées d'leu demeure

    They want some shale in the alleys of their home

46. Quand i partent in vacances sur l'autoroute

    When they head off on vacation on the highway

47. Je n'cros pas qui n'a bien gramint qui s'doutent

    I don't believe anyone truly knows what's going on

48. Que l'montagne aile est sous chés reulles à terre

    That the mountain's wing is under the wheels on the ground

49. Ch'est là qu't'es parti min terril d'Rimbert

    That's where you left, my hill of Rimbert

50. Que l'montagne aile est sous chés reulles à terre

    That the mountain's wing is under the wheels on the ground

51. Ch'est là qu't'es parti min terril d'Rimbert

    That's where you left, my hill of Rimbert
