Les Enfants Du Pirée Lyrics in English Dalida
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Les Enfants Du Pirée by Dalida from French to English.
Noyés de bleu sous le ciel grec
Drowned in blue beneath the Greek sky
Un bateau, deux bateaux
One boat, two boats
Trois bateaux s'en vont chantant
Three boats sail off singing
Griffant le ciel à coups de bec
Clawing the sky with pecks of their beaks
Un oiseau, deux oiseaux
One bird, two birds
Trois oiseaux font du beau temps
Three birds bring fine weather
Dans les ruelles, d'un coup sec
In the alleys, with a sudden snap
Un volet, deux volets
One shutter, two shutters
Trois volets claquent au vent
Three shutters bang in the wind
Et faisant une ronde avec
And forming a circle dance with
Un enfant, deux enfants
One child, two children
Trois enfants dansent gaiement
Three children dance merrily
Mon Dieu, que j'aime
My God, how I love
Ce port du bout du monde
This port at the end of the world
Que le soleil inonde
That the sun floods
De ses reflets dorés
With its golden reflections
Mon Dieu, que j'aime
My God, how I love
Sous leurs bonnets oranges
Under their orange caps
Tous les visages d'ange
All the angel faces
Des enfants du Pirée
Of the children of Piraeus
Je rêve aussi d'avoir un jour
I also dream of having, one day
Un enfant, deux enfants
One child, two children
Trois enfants jouant comme eux
Three children playing like them
Le long du quai flânent toujours
Always strolling along the quay
Une marin, deux marins
One sailor, two sailors
Trois marins aventureux
Three adventurous sailors
De notre amour, on se fera
From our love, we will make
Un amour, dix amours
One love, ten loves
Mille amours noyés de bleu
A thousand loves drowned in blue
Et nos enfants feront des gars
And our children will grow into fine lads
Que les filles, un beau jour
That the girls, one fine day
À leur tour rendront heureux
Will in turn make happy
Mon Dieu, que j'aime
My God, how I love
Ce port du bout du monde
This port at the end of the world
Que le soleil inonde
That the sun floods
De ses reflets dorés
Of these golden reflections
Mon Dieu, que j'aime
My God, how I love
Sous leurs bonnets oranges
Under their orange caps
Tous les visages d'ange
All the angel faces
Des enfants du Pirée
Of the children of Piraeus
