Adieu
Les Blérots de R.A.V.E.L Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Adieu Venise provençale
Adieu pays de mes amours
Adieu cigalons et cigales
Dans les grands pins chantez toujours
Barques aux douces couleurs
Collines rousses de fleurs
Au loin je pars je vous laisse mon cœur
Adieu Venise provençale
Adieu pays de mes amours

Cher petit village au bord de la mer
Je te laisse en gage tout ce qui m’est cher
L’éternel été d´un ciel enchanté
Où j´ai cru vivre un jour tous mes rêves
Pays que j’aimais je dois désormais
Loin de toi m’en aller à jamais

Adieu Venise provençale
Adieu pays de mes amours
Adieu cigalons et cigales
Dans les grands pins chantez toujours
Barques aux douces couleurs
Collines rousses de fleurs
Au loin je pars je vous laisse mon cœur
Adieu Venise provençale
Adieu pays de mes amours

La fillette brune qui m’a fait souvent
Au clair de la lune tant de beaux serments
Dans sa jolie main a brisé soudain
Mes espoirs et toute ma tendresse
C’est pourquoi je veux oublier ses yeux
Et quitter cher pays ton ciel bleu

Barques aux douces couleurs
Collines rousses de fleurs
Au loin je pars je vous laisse mon cœur




Adieu Venise provençale
Adieu pays de mes amours
