À Blue Bayou [English translation]

In vain I search, I can not find

Another boy to love

Than the one I met

At Blue Bayou

In the courts and in the bars

He sang to his guitar

For some Francs, for some Dollars

At Blue Bayou

I think I would love

To return to Blue Bayou

Where the people are beautiful

Where the sky is warm

At Blue Bayou

On the white boat

Where someone is awaiting me

In a ray of the night

That fell down by chance

On his guitar

Which sleeps with him

The sun is low over my city

The sun is high over his island

We are so far from the year 2000

At Blue Bayou

In the courts and in the bars

I would live from his guitar

Wrapped in his old shawl

At Blue Bayou

Sure I would love

To return to Blue Bayou

Where the people are beautiful

Where the sky is warm

At Blue Bayou

On the white boat

Where someone is awaiting me

In a ray of the night

That fell down by chance

On his guitar

Which sleeps with him

Path like opal, a sail

The red moon surrounded by stars

In vain I search, I did not find

Better than him for me

My bliss is in the end

A rendezvous

At Blue Bayou
