Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Matinée by Jean Ferrat from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
La matinée se lève toi debout, il est temps
The morning rises, stand up, it's time
Attends encore, attends
Wait again, wait
J'ai pas fini mon rêve
I haven't finished my dream
Le soleil nous inonde regarde-moi ce bleu
The sun floods us look at this blue
Attends encore un peu je refaisais le monde
Wait a little longer, I'll remake the world
Lève-toi donc, respire
So get up, breathe
Quel printemps nous avons
What a spring we have
J'efface mille avions une guerre, un empire
I erase a thousand planes, a war, an empire
Faut labourer la terre
You have to plow the land
Et tirer l'eau du puit's
And draw water from the well
Changer la vie et puis abolir la misère
Change life and then abolish poverty
Regarde l'alouette il est midi sonné
Look at the lark, it's high noon
Le monde abandonné je le donne au poète
The abandoned world I give to the poet
Allons, viens dans la vigne
Come on, come into the vineyard
Le soleil est très haut
The sun is very high
Le monde sera beau je l'affirme, je signe
The world will be beautiful, I affirm it, I sign
Le monde sera beau
The world will be beautiful
Je l'affirme, je signe
I affirm it, I sign
