Lyrics and translation Dany Brillant feat. Damien Sargue & Roch Voisine - Syracuse




Syracuse
Syracuse
J′aimerais tant voir Syracuse
My love, I long to see Syracuse,
L'ile de Paques et Kairouan
Easter Island and Kairouan,
Et les grands oiseaux qui s′amusent
And the great birds that find joy
A glisser l'aile sous le vent
In gliding their wings beneath the wind.
Voir les jardins de Babylone
To see the Hanging Gardens of Babylon,
Et le palais do Grand Lama
And the palace of the Dalai Lama,
Rever des amants de Verone
To dream of the lovers of Verona
Au sommet do Fuji Yama
At the summit of Mount Fuji.
Voir le pays do matin calme
To see the Land of the Morning Calm,
Aller pecher le cormoran
To go fishing for cormorants,
Et m'enivrer de vin de palme
And to get drunk on palm wine,
En ecoutant chanter le vent
Listening to the wind sing.
Voir le pays do matin calme
To see the Land of the Morning Calm,
Aller pecher le cormoran
To go fishing for cormorants,
Et m′enivrer de vin de palme
And to get drunk on palm wine
En ecoutant chanter le vent
Listening to the wind sing.
Avant que ma jeunesse s′use
Before my youth fades away
Et que mes printemps soient partis
And my springtime days are gone,
J'aimerais tant voir Syracuse
I long to see Syracuse,
Pour m′en souvenir a Paris
To remember it in Paris.
