Les Enfants Du Pirée
Dominique A Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, you can kiss me on a Monday
A Monday, a Monday is very, very good
Or you can kiss me on a Tuesday
A Tuesday, a Tuesday, in fact I wish you would
Or you can kiss me on a Wednesday
A Thursday, a Friday and Saturday is best
But never, never on a Sunday
A Sunday, a Sunday, 'cause that's my day of rest

Most any day you can be my guest
Any day you say, but my day of rest
Just name the day that you like the best
Only stay away on my day of rest

Oh, you can kiss me on a cool day, a hot day
A wet day, which everyone you choose
Or try to kiss me on a gray day, a May day
A pay day, and see if I refuse
And if you make it on a bleak day




A freak day, a week day, why you can be my guest
But never, never on a Sunday

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dominique A's song "Les Enfants Du Pirée" are actually a French translation of the song "Never on Sunday" by Manos Hadjidakis. The song is a playful, upbeat tune about a person declaring the days of the week on which they are open to receiving affectionate kisses, with the exception of Sunday, their designated day of rest. The song's lyrics suggest that the person would appreciate kisses any day of the week, but Sunday is to be reserved for rest and relaxation.


The overall tone of the song is light-hearted and fun, with a carefree attitude towards love and romance. The song has a catchy melody and upbeat tempo, which contributes to its popularity both in its original Greek version and in its French version. The playful nature of the lyrics, combined with the upbeat instrumental accompaniment, create a happy-go-lucky atmosphere that encourages listeners to let go of their cares and enjoy life.

Noyés de bleu sous le ciel grec 
Un bateau, deux bateaux, trois bateaux s'en vont chantant 
Griffant le ciel à coups de bec 
Un oiseau, deux oiseaux, trois oiseaux font du beau temps 


Dans les ruelles d'un coup sec 
Un volet, deux volets, trois volets claquent au vent 
Et faisant une ronde avec 
Un enfant, deux enfants, trois enfants dansent gaiement 

Mon dieu que j'aime ce port du bout du monde 
Que le soleil inonde de ses reflets dorés 
Mon dieu que j'aime sous leurs bonnets oranges 
Tous les visages d'anges des enfants du Pirée 

Je rêve aussi d'avoir un jour 
Un enfant, deux enfants, trois enfants jouant comme eux 
Le long du quai flâne toujours 
Un marin, deux marins, trois marins aventureux 
De notre amour on se fera 


Un amour, dix amours, mille amours noyées de bleu 
Et nos enfants feront des gars 
Que des filles un beau jour à leur tour rendront heureux 

Mon dieu que j'aime ce port du bout du monde 
Que le soleil inonde de ses reflets dorés 
Mon dieu que j'aime sous leurs bonnets oranges 
Tous les visages d'anges des enfants du Pirée

très agréable à entendre avec l'arrangement musical

@dragonzaur007

Très belle reprise !!

@Furansowakun

Merci pour cette chanson ! Serait-il possible de mettre en ligne aussi la chanson "Les menteurs" de Dominique A de l'album "Le détour". Ce serait super, c'est ma chanson préférée de Dominique A.

@jeangallois7966

Cette chanson m'a toujours énervé, mais quand avec son interprétation j'adore !

@countrychess

Il a repris ce classique il y a déjà quelques années ; cela étant, je trouve que sa version n' apporte rien. Et pourtant, j' aime beaucoup ce qu' il fait , tant du point de vu du texte que de celui de l' interprétation et de la mélodie ! ( " Immortel ", " Le courage des oiseaux.", " J' avais oublié que tu m' aimais autant " , etc... )

@mobrel9262

Super j'adore
Merci Dominique
C'est du bonheur
