Lyrics and translation Ivano Fossati - Le Signore Del Ponte-Lance

Le Signore Del Ponte-Lance

Ah, che bei foulard
A coprire le guance
Belle signore che in piedi si sta
Belle signore del ponte lance
A vedere la Francia
Che se ne va

C'est un petite chanson
Sur le temps qui passe
Et le temps qu'on passe
À courir la mer
Le capitaine est un brave homme d'ici
Il a de bon marins
Qui viennent d'Italie

E noi marinai
Noi marinai, noi
Non siamo mai stanchi
Partiamo a vent'anni
E non torniamo più
E voi belle a guardarci i fianchi
E intanto l'ormeggio già cade giù

C'est un petite chanson
Sur le gens qui passent
Et le temps qu'on passe
À courir l'amour
Le capitaine est un brave homme d'ici
Il a de bon marins
Qui viennent d'Italie

The Ladies of Lance Bridge

Ah, what nice scarves
Covering your cheeks
Beautiful ladies standing there
Beautiful ladies on the Lance bridge
Watching France
As it fades away

This is a short song
About the passing of time
And the time we spend
Sailing the sea
The captain is a brave local man
He has good sailors
Who come from Italy

And we sailors
We sailors, we
Are never tired
We set sail at twenty
And never return
And you lovely ladies watch our sides
And meanwhile the mooring has already dropped down

This is a short song
About the people who pass
And the time we spent
Chasing love
The captain is a brave local man
He has good sailors
Who come from Italy
