Dans le soleil et dans le vent [English translation]

It's almost fall time,

The children reap

And I already got the wood.

You in uniform, with other men

Far away from here, you left, singing:

In the sun and in the wind

Turn the wings of the old mill

They’ll turn as long

As we will live hand in hand

A little dust on the snuffbox

Proves to me that you're far away

But I think I hear the tender chorus

That last year, to lull me to sleep,

You sang to me:

In the sun and in the wind

Turn the wings of the old mill

They’ll turn as long

As we will live hand in hand

Yesterday, your friend came back from war

He didn’t say anything, but I understood

Seeing your chain, your wool jacket

That you'd never come to sing to me again:

In the sun and in the wind

Turn the wings of the old mill

They’ll turn as long

As we will live hand in hand

Turn the wings in the light

Turns the time, nothing has changed

But since yesterday in my heart

The old mill... stopped.
