This Melody [English translation]

This Melody

Is a melody for you

This melody

Is the ocean between us

This melody

Of salt water and melancholy

In your country

It comes back sometimes

Just like that, voila, like that

The wind here

Makes all our birds fly

The fields here

Do all they can for the herds

The people here

Who don't know any other kind of life(style)

In this country

From where the fruits are so nice

One is happy with the noyaux *

This melody

Is a melody for you

People from around here aren't the biggest

The proudest or the most beautiful

It's just that, they are from here, the people from here

Like this melody

People from around here aren't the biggest

The proudest or the most beautiful

It's just that, they are from here, the people from here

Like this melody

You left

But your dream is still warm

This old sun

Was too strong for your skin

This melody

Which will come back to you sometimes during your life

This melody

In your town, transformed into rain, rain

That's why

This melody is a melody for you

People from around here aren't the biggest

The proudest or the most beautiful

It's just that, they are from here, the people from here

Like this melody

People from around here aren't the biggest

The proudest or the most beautiful

It's just that, they are from here, the people from here
