Paroles et traduction Edith Piaf - Retour

Retour

Tu retournes au pays, camarade
Et la paix va rena? tre pour toi.
Laisse-l? ton fusil, tes grenades.
On t'esp? re en te tendant les bras.
Pense? nous, qui restons? la guerre,
Les soirs calmes o? ton c? ur aimera

Et va dire? mon p? re,? ma m? re
Qu'? No? l, peut-? tre, on reviendra...

Ne leur dit rien du front.
Ne parle pas du feu
Et mens quand il faudra mentir.
Dis-leur que nous chantions
Quand tu as d? partir
En buvant tous le verre d'adieu.

Tu retournes au pays, camarade
Et la paix va rena? tre pour toi.
Laisse-l? ton fusil, tes grenades.
On t'esp? re en te tendant les bras.
Pense? nous, qui restons? la guerre,
Les soirs calmes o? ton c? ur aimera
Et va dire? mon p? re,? ma m? re
Qu'? No? l, peut-? tre, on reviendra...

Homecoming

You're going home, comrade
And peace will be reborn for you.
Leave your rifle and grenades behind.
We are waiting for you with open arms.
Think of us, who remain at war,
On calm evenings when your heart will love

And tell my father and mother
That by Christmas, perhaps, we will return...

Tell them nothing of the front.
Don't speak of the fire
And lie when you must.
Tell them that we were singing
When you had to leave
As we all drank a farewell toast.

You're going home, comrade
And peace will be reborn for you.
Leave your rifle and grenades behind.
We are waiting for you with open arms.
Think of us, who remain at war,
On calm evenings when your heart will love
And tell my father and mother
That by Christmas, perhaps, we will return...
