La Madrague

by Brigitte Bardot

Sur la plage abandonnée
Coquillage et crustacés
Qui l'eût cru déplorent la perte de l'été
Qui depuis s'en est allé

On a rangé les vacances
Dans des valises en carton
Et c'est triste quand on pense à la saison
Du soleil et des chansons

Pourtant je sais bien l'année prochaine
Tout refleurira nous reviendrons
Mais en attendant je suis en peine
De quitter la mer et ma maison

Le mistral va s'habituer
A courir sans les voiliers
Et c'est dans ma chevelure ébouriffée
Qu'il va le plus me manquer

Le soleil mon grand copain
Ne me brulera que de loin
Croyant que nous sommes ensemble un peu fâchés
D'être tous deux séparés

Le train m'emmènera vers l'automne
Retrouver la ville sous la pluie
Mon chagrin ne sera pour personne
Je le garderai comme un ami

Mais aux premiers jours d'été
Tous les ennuis oubliés
Nous reviendrons faire la fête aux crustacés
De la plage ensoleillée
De la plage ensoleillée
De la plage ensoleillée


La Madrague

On the abandoned beach,
Seashells and Shellfish that deplore the loss of the summer which went away

We put the holidays away in cardboard suitcases
And it is sad when we think of the season of the sun and the songs

Though I know the flowers will bloom again next year
But I am in sorrow now to leave the sea and my house

The mistral will be accustomed to blow without the sailing boats
And it is in my dishevelled hair that I will miss it most

My dear friend, The Sun, that only burns from a long way off
Believing that we are a little angry that we are both separated

The train will take me along towards the autumn to find the city under the rain
My grief is not for anybody.
I will keep him like a dear friend

But on the first days of Summer,
all the forgotten problems, we'll return to celebrate with the shellfish of the sunny beach
...of the sunny beach
...of the sunny beach
