lyrics

C.
J'ai traversé les ponts de Cé
C'est là que tout a commencé
Une chanson des temps passé
Parle d'un chevalier blessé
D'une rose sur la chaussée,
Et d'un corsage délacé
Du château d'un duc insensé,
Et des cygnes dans les fossés
De la prairie où vient danser
Une éternelle fiancée
Et j'ai bu comme un lait glacé,
Le long lai des gloires faussées
La Loire emporte mes pensées
Avec les voitures versées
Et les armes désamorcées
Et les larmes mal effacées
O ma France, ô ma délaissée;
J'ai traversé les ponts de Cé.


C.
I crossed the bridges of Cé
It’s there that everything started
A song of times gone by
Talks of a wounded knight
Of a rose on the road,
And of an undone blouse
Of the castle of an insane Duke,
And of swans in their ditches
Of the meadow where comes to dance
An eternal fiancée
And I drank like icy milk,
The long lay of wrongful glories
The Loire takes away my thoughts
With overturned vehicles
And the defused weapons
And the tears not well hidden
O my France, oh my neglected one;
I crossed the bridges of Cé.
