Adieu mon pays [English translation]

I left my land/country, I left ma home

My life, my sad life languishs* without aim

I left my sun, I left my blue sea

Memories of them reappear**, long after my farewell

Sun, sun of lost country

The white town that I loved, the girls I once have know

I left a friend, I still can see her eyes

Her eyes wet with rain, with the farewell's rain

I still can see her smile, so close from my face

It made the nights of my town shine

But from the boat, that was taking me away from the dock

A chain in the water slapped like a whip

I have been staring for a long time at her rummaging eyes

The sea has drown them in the stream of regrets
