Lyrics and translation Porter Wagoner - Green, Green Grass of Home
The
old
hometown
looks
the
same
Mon
vieux
quartier
a
l'air
pareil
As
I
step
down
from
the
train
Quand
je
descends
du
train
And
there
to
meet
me
is
my
mama
and
papa
Et
là
pour
m'accueillir,
il
y
a
ma
mère
et
mon
père
And
down
the
road
I
look
and
there
runs
Mary
Et
plus
loin,
je
vois
Mary
courir
Hair
of
gold
and
lips
like
cherries
Cheveux
d'or
et
lèvres
comme
des
cerises
It's
good
to
touch
the
green
green
grass
of
home
C'est
bon
de
toucher
l'herbe
verte,
verte
de
la
maison
Yes,
they've
all
come
to
meet
me
Oui,
ils
sont
tous
venus
me
rencontrer
Arms
areached
smiling
sweetly
Les
bras
tendus,
souriant
doucement
It's
so
good
to
touch
the
green
green
grass
of
home
C'est
tellement
bon
de
toucher
l'herbe
verte,
verte
de
la
maison
The
old
house
is
still
standing
La
vieille
maison
est
toujours
debout
Though
the
paint
is
cracked
and
dry
Même
si
la
peinture
est
craquelée
et
sèche
And
there's
that
old
oak
tree
that
I
used
to
play
on
Et
il
y
a
ce
vieux
chêne
sur
lequel
j'avais
l'habitude
de
jouer
Down
the
lane
I'd
walk
with
my
sweet
Mary
Je
marchais
dans
l'allée
avec
ma
douce
Mary
Hair
of
gold
and
lips
like
cherries
Cheveux
d'or
et
lèvres
comme
des
cerises
It's
good
to
touch
the
green
green
grass
of
home
C'est
bon
de
toucher
l'herbe
verte,
verte
de
la
maison
Then
I
awake
and
look
around
me
Puis
je
me
réveille
et
je
regarde
autour
de
moi
At
these
four
gray
walls
that
surround
me
Ces
quatre
murs
gris
qui
m'entourent
And
I
realized
that
I
was
only
dreaming
Et
je
réalise
que
je
ne
faisais
que
rêver
For
there's
a
guard
and
there's
a
sad
old
padre
Car
il
y
a
un
gardien
et
un
vieux
prêtre
triste
Arm
in
arm,
we'll
walk
at
daybreak
Bras
dessus
bras
dessous,
nous
marcherons
à
l'aube
And
again
I'll
touch
the
green
green
grass
of
home
Et
je
toucherai
à
nouveau
l'herbe
verte,
verte
de
la
maison
They'll
all
come
to
see
me
Ils
viendront
tous
me
voir
In
the
shade
of
that
old
oak
tree
À
l'ombre
de
ce
vieux
chêne
As
they
lay
me
'neath
the
green
green
grass
of
home
Alors
qu'ils
me
couchent
sous
l'herbe
verte,
verte
de
la
maison
