Les cloches
Mon beau tzigane, mon amant
Écoute les cloches qui sonnent
Nous nous aimions éperdument
Croyant n’être vus de personne
Mais nous étions bien mal cachés
Toutes les cloches à la ronde
Nous ont vus du haut des clochers
Et le disent à tout le monde
Demain Cyprien et Henri
Marie, Ursule et Catherine
La boulangère et son mari
Et puis Gertrude, ma cousine
Souriront quand je passerai
Je ne saurai plus où me mettre
Tu seras loin. Je pleurerai
J’en mourrai peut-être
The Bells
My gipsy beau, my lover
Hear the bells above us
We loved passionately
Thinking none could see us
But we so badly hidden
All the bells in their song
Saw from heights of heaven
And told it everyone
Tomorrow Cyprien, Henry
Marie, Ursule, Catherine
The baker’s wife, her husband
and Gertrude that’s my cousin
Will smile when I go by them
I won’t know where to hide
You far and I’ll be crying
Perhaps I shall be dying
