The Village Bell Tower

Le Clocher Du Village

The village bell towerL' clocher du village
When it was neededQuand il le fallait
The village bell towerL' clocher du village
You didn't ringTu n'as pas sonné

The girl I loveLa fille que j'aime
This morningCe matin
You saw her leaveTu l'as vu partir
And to avoidEt pour m'éviter
This sorrowCe chagrin
You should have warned meTu aurais mieux fait de me prévenir

The village bell towerL' clocher du village
When it was neededQuand il le fallait
The village bell towerL' clocher du village
You didn't ringTu n'as pas sonné

Now everyoneMaintenant tout le monde
Will mock meSe moquera de moi
Saying aroundDisant à la ronde
That she didn't love meQu'elle ne m'aimait pas
But if I had knownMais si j'avais su
Thanks to youGrâce à toi
That she was going to leaveQu’elle allait partir
I could have run after herJ'aurais pu courir sur ses pas
And I would have done everything to keep herEt j'aurais tout fait pour la retenir

The village bell towerL' clocher du village
I was your friendJ'étais ton ami
And it's a shameEt c'est bien dommage
Because you betrayed meCar tu m'as trahi

I'm going on a tripJe pars en voyage
I won't come backJe ne reviendrai pas
The village bell towerL' clocher du village
It's because of youC'est à cause de toi

The village bell towerL' clocher du village
For my weddingPour mon mariage
It's not you whoCe n'est pas toi qui
Will ringSonnera
