Méditerranéenne [English translation]

My life will be yours,

Mediterranean Girl,

In Saintes-Maries, the town I love

It's dangerous for a foreigner!

You've got your village cross on your forehead

And two big black eyes staring me down

Who gave you that sway, you who was born

Between the grape vines and the olive grove?

They like thunderstorms in your family,

The flamingos and the wild horses,

Scattered, sunlit, and enchanted

As are all the travellers.

Come rejoin me at night time, but take care

'Cause you know well that your brother's watching us

Because he swore to you:

It's dangerous for a foreigner!

Mediterranean Girl

You're just so beautiful!

This Bohemian scent of yours,

I love it because you love me.

My life will be yours,

Mediterranean Girl,

In Saintes-Maries, the town I love

It's dangerous for a foreigner!

But I'm itching to run into the waves

And scream under the heavens of the Camargue:

Who gave you that sway,

The majesty of being barefoot

Among these gypsies?

At sunset, the fire and the flames

Rekindle the love in women's hearts

When you are sad, a guitarist, a violinist

Is always there to play a melancholic tune

Come rejoin me at night time, but take care

'Cause you know well that your brother's watching us

Because he swore to you:

It's dangerous for a foreigner!

Mediterranean Girl

The guitars remember that,

The sea is in the plain

In Saintes-Maries, the town I love.

~~~

My life will be yours,

Mediterranean Girl,

This Bohemian scent of yours,

I love it because you love me.

Mediterranean Girl

My life will be yours

In Saintes-Maries, the town I love

It's dangerous for a foreigner!
