Adieu mon pays [English translation]

I left my country

I left my house

My life, my sad life

Is a drag for no reason

I left my sun

I left my blue sea

The memories are waking up

Long after my last goodbye

Sun! Sun from my lost country

From the white cities I loved

From the girls I used to know

I left a friend

I can still see her eyes

Her eyes filled with rain

Goodbye rain

I see her smile again

So close to my face

It made shine

The nights of my village

But from the edge of the boat

That took me away from the quay

A chain in the water

Cracked like a whip

I looked for a long time at

Her avoiding eyes

The sea drowned them

In a tide/swell of regret.
