Jacques Brel - Il y a English translation lyrics

Your rating:

There Is

There is as much morning fog in the harbours
As there are girls in the hearts of sailors
There are as many clouds in the sky
As there are birds
There is as much ploughing and as many seeds
As there is joy for hope
There are as many streams there are as many rivers
As there are cemeteries

But there is so much blue in my lover's eyes
In her eyes there is so much life
In her hair there is a bit of eternity
On her lips so much cheerfulness

There is as much light in the city streets
As there are desolate children
There are as many songs lost in the wind
As there are children
There are as many stained glass windows, there are as many steeples
As there are voices telling us to love
There are as many channels that cross the earth
As there are wrinkles on the faces of mothers

But there is so much blue in my lover's eyes
In her eyes there is so much life
In her hair there is a bit of eternity
On her lips so much cheerfulness

Il y a

Il y a tant de brouillard dans les ports, au matin
Qu'il n'y a de filles dans le cœur des marins
Il y a tant de nuages qui voyagent là-haut
Qu'il n'y a d'oiseaux
Il y a tant de labours, il y a tant de semences
Qu'il n'y a de joie, d'espérance
Il y a tant de ruisseaux, il y a tant de rivières
Qu'il n'y a de cimetières

Mais il y a tant de bleu dans les yeux de ma mie
Il y a dans ses yeux tant de vie
Il y a dans ses cheveux un peu d'éternité
Sur sa lèvre tant de gaieté

Il y a tant de lumières dans les rues des cités
Qu'il n'y a d'enfants désolés
Il y a tant de chansons perdues dans le vent
Qu'il n'y a d'enfants
Il y a tant de vitraux, il y a tant de clochers
Qu'il n'y a de voix qui nous disent d'aimer
Il y a tant de canaux qui traversent la terre
Qu'il n'y a de rides au visage des mères

Mais il y a tant de bleu dans les yeux de ma mie
Il y a dans ses yeux tant de vie
Il y a dans ses cheveux un peu d'éternité
Sur sa lèvre tant, tant de gaieté.
