Michel Sardou "Je viens du sud" letra

I come from the south

Somewhere in my heartIs melancholyA mixture between barbaric bloodAnd Italian wineA wedding ceremony in the countryPulled by two horsesA mountain pathTo a water source

Deep inside my memoryAre lights of long agoThat a very old woman in blackWoud turn on for meA whole stone-built houseEroded by the seaOverlooking a cemeteryWhere the crosses are leaning

I come from the southAnd through every wayI'm getting back there...

In my voice, some eveningsIs something shoutingA mixture between a barbaric songAnd an Italian skyMonstrous surges of angerBreathed into me by the windsEndless speechesAfter every lunch

I come from the southAnd through every wayI'm getting back there...

Somewhere in my heartIs melancholyThe desire to setThe clocks of my life rightA mountain pathWhen I need waterA garden in the countryFor my rest daysA whole stone-built houseEroded by the seaOverlooking a cemeteryWhere lies my father

I come from the southAnd through every wayI'm getting back there...And through every wayI'm getting back there...
