La chanson française

Music & Lyrics: Marie-Lynn Hammond

j’avais une jolie fleur
qui poussait devant ma porte
mais un jour tu es venu
noir et sauvage
maintenant ma fleur est morte

refrain :
chant la vent, chant le ciel
tout est fini
tout mon bonheur est parti

et j’avais une hirondelle
qui chantait sur mon toit
mais un jour tu est venu
noir et sauvage
l’hirondlelle a perdu sa voix

et j’avais un grand amour
qui brulait dans mon âme
et je te l’ai donné
mais tu l’as rejeté
tu as éteint sa flamme

pleure le vent, pleure le ciel
tout est fini
tout mon bonheur est parti

Translation:
I had a pretty flower
that bloomed by my door
but one day you came
you were dark and wild
and now my flower has died

chorus:
the wind sings, the sky sings
everything is finished
all my happiness has fled

And I had a swallow
that sang on my rooftop
but one day you came
dark and wild
and the swallow lost its voice

I had a great love
that burned in my soul
and I gave it to you
but you refused it
you put out its flame

the wind cries, the sky cries
everything is finished
all my happiness has fled
