Les rubans et la fleur [English translation]

A flower has got its guitar

Four coloured ribbons

These ribbons have got a story

It's the story of its heart

All the night he plays

My heart trembled

He told me the story

Of ribbons and of his heart.

And about the flower?

What's about the flower?

Doesn't it have a story?

And about the flower?

What's about the flower?

Tell me about it tonight

There was before a grey ribbon

For his mother and his country

That by leaving said him

"Come on, good luck my boy"

He had got a blue ribbon

For the girls with eyes

Who he met on the way

Who he forgot in the morning

And about the flower?

What's about the flower?

Doesn't it have a story?

And about the flower?

What's about the flower?

Tell me about it tonight

There was before a red ribbon

For his Nicolas

Who sometimes writes him

"I am a soldier, don't forget me"

He had got a white ribbon

He keeps it for the child

The child who he will have one day

When he finds love

And about the flower?

What's about the flower?

Doesn't it have a story?

And about the flower?

The flower, you gave it to me
