Paroles et traduction Teófilo Chantre - Tu Verrais

Tu Verrais

Tu verrais des oiseaux
Convoler jour et nuit.
Tu verrais des cargos jalouser les voiliers,
Flirtant avec le vent, le vent,
Tu verrais les gamins et leurs filets trainant,
Tu verrais l′oeil des femmes cajoler des enfants
Qui s'en iront marins, gamins.
Tu verrais tu vivrais ici,
Sans avoir à rêver d′ailleurs,
Tu coulerais tes jours, tes nuits, aux portes de ce monde meilleur,
Sans penser à demain,
Ni rien.
Tu verrais ce village aux allées valiées

You Would See

You would see birds
Fleeing day and night.
You would see cargo ships jealous of sailboats,
Flirting with the wind, the wind,
You would see the kids and their nets dragging,
You would see the eyes of women caressing children
Who will go sailors, kids.
You would see, you would live here,
Without having to dream of elsewhere,
You would spend your days, your nights, at the gates of this better world,
Without thinking about tomorrow,
Or anything.
You would see this village with valleyed alleys
