Jacques Brel - Voici English translation lyrics

Your rating:

Here

Here is
A sky tilting its clouds
Onto these Italian roads
For lovers without any luggage
Here is
A string of hills*
To ribbon our lives
Of wines clear, of fresh flowers
Here are
Bells ringing the celebration
Celebration for laughing
Laughing that nothing can stop
Here are
Loves* in white dresses
Half flower and half fruit
Of whom angels are jealous
Here are
Echoes which make a chain
In order to carry for ever and ever
Our “forever” and our “I love you”
Here are
Promises of Saint-Jean
Of Saint-Jean which last the whole life
Lives which are spared by time
Here are
Some smiles of our fathers
Which we look for during night
To calm our anger
Here is
At the friendship's crossroad
The sorrow vanishing
 Crushed by our hands strongly gripped
 Here are
In our waterlogged suburbs
Some priests in litany
Became workers
Here are
Hands wrinkled by courage
Which caress the workbench
From where emerges the beautiful piece of work
Here are
These flowers growing up in mess
Between us and enemy
In order to prevent the battle
Here are

Voici

Voici
Qu'un ciel penche ses nuages
Sur ces chemins d'Italie
Pour amoureux sans bagages
Voici

Des coteaux en ribambelles
Pour enrubanner nos vies
De vins clairs de fleurs nouvelles
Voici

Des cloches sonnant la fête
Des fêtes pour que l'on rie
Des rires que rien n'arrête
Voici

Des amours en robe blanche
Moitié fleur et moitié fruit
Que nous jalousent les anges
Voici

Des échos qui font la chaîne
Pur porter à l'infini
Nos "toujours" et nos "je t'aime"
Voici

Des promesse de Saint-Jean
De Saint-Jean qui durent la vie
Des vies qu'épargne le temps
Voici

Certains sourires de nos pères
Que l'on recherche la nuit
Pour mieux calmer sa colère
Voici

Qu'au carrefour des amitiés
La douleur s'évanouit
Broyée par nos mains serrées
Voici

Qu'en nos faubourgs délavés
Des prêtres en litanies
Sont devenus ouvriers
Voici

Des mains ridées de courage
Qui caressent l'établi
D'où jaillit la belle ouvrage
Voici

Ces fleurs poussant en pagaille
Entre nous et l'ennemi
Pour empêcher la bataille
Voici
