À London [English translation]

I know well the English coast

from which we see Brittany.

I am not Paimpolaise*—

I was born in London.

In London, London—

in London, London—

in London, London—

fishing for shrimp.

In London, London—

in London, London—

in London, London—

catching the little fish.

When I go fishing for shrimp,

I put on my little round hat.

If my friends saw my head,

they would say it looks like London.

In London, London—

in London, London—

in London, London—

fishing for shrimp.

In London, London—

in London, London—

in London, London—

catching the little fish.

The big fogs of the Thames

are not good for the lungs,

and I feel sorry for my sister Eloïse

staying in London.

In London, London—

in London, London—

in London, London—

fishing for shrimp.

In London, London—

in London, London—

in London, London—

catching the little fish.

Between France and England

when they will have finished their bridge,

I can fish without worrying

from Paris to London.

In London, London—

in London, London—

in London, London—

fishing for shrimp.

In London, London—

in London, London—

in London, London—

catching the little fish.
