Lyrics and translation The Kinks - Village Green - stereo
Out
in
the
country,
À
la
campagne,
Far
from
all
the
soot
and
noise
of
the
city,
Loin
de
la
suie
et
du
bruit
de
la
ville,
There's
a
village
green.
Il
y
a
un
village
verdoyant.
It's
been
a
long
time
Cela
fait
longtemps
Since
I
last
set
eyes
on
the
church
with
the
steeple
Que
je
n'ai
pas
vu
l'église
et
son
clocher
Down
by
the
village
green.
Près
du
village
verdoyant.
'Twas
there
I
met
a
girl
called
Daisy
C'est
là
que
j'ai
rencontré
une
fille
nommée
Daisy
And
kissed
her
by
the
old
oak
tree.
Et
je
l'ai
embrassée
près
du
vieux
chêne.
Although
I
loved
my
Daisy,
I
sought
fame,
Bien
que
j'aimais
ma
Daisy,
j'ai
cherché
la
gloire,
And
so
I
left
the
village
green.
Et
j'ai
donc
quitté
le
village
verdoyant.
I
miss
the
village
green,
Le
village
verdoyant
me
manque,
And
all
the
simple
people.
Et
tous
ses
gens
simples.
I
miss
the
village
green,
Le
village
verdoyant
me
manque,
The
church,
the
clock,
the
steeple.
L'église,
l'horloge,
le
clocher.
I
miss
the
morning
dew,
fresh
air
and
Sunday
school.
La
rosée
du
matin
me
manque,
l'air
frais
et
l'école
du
dimanche.
And
now
all
the
houses
Et
maintenant
toutes
les
maisons
Are
rare
antiquities.
Sont
de
rares
antiquités.
American
tourists
flock
to
see
the
village
green.
Les
touristes
américains
affluent
pour
voir
le
village
verdoyant.
They
snap
their
photographs
and
say
"Gawd
darn
it,
Ils
prennent
leurs
photos
et
disent
"Bon
sang,
Isn't
it
a
pretty
scene?"
N'est-ce
pas
un
joli
décor
?"
And
Daisy's
married
Tom
the
grocer
boy,
Et
Daisy
a
épousé
Tom
l'épicier,
And
now
he
owns
a
grocery.
Et
maintenant
il
possède
une
épicerie.
I
miss
the
village
green,
Le
village
verdoyant
me
manque,
And
all
the
simple
people.
Et
tous
ses
gens
simples.
I
miss
the
village
green,
Le
village
verdoyant
me
manque,
The
church,
the
clock,
the
steeple.
L'église,
l'horloge,
le
clocher.
I
miss
the
morning
dew,
fresh
air
and
Sunday
school.
La
rosée
du
matin
me
manque,
l'air
frais
et
l'école
du
dimanche.
And
I
will
return
there,
Et
j'y
retournerai,
And
I'll
see
Daisy,
Et
je
verrai
Daisy,
And
we'll
sip
tea,
laugh,
Et
nous
boirons
du
thé,
rirons,
And
talk
about
the
village
green.
Et
parlerons
du
village
verdoyant.
We
will
laugh
and
talk
about
the
village
green.
Nous
rirons
et
parlerons
du
village
verdoyant.
