Hello le soleil brille [English translation]

Hello, the sun is shining, shining, shining

Hello you'll soon be back

there in your village

at the green cottage

full of bird-song.

Hello the sun is shining, shining, shining

Hello love awaits you at your home.

There, escaping the world,

a blonde, who embroiders

while dreaming, is watching.

Hello the sun is shining, shining, shining

Hello you'll be back, Johnny,

there where your mother, your

good old father and

all your friends are.

Hello, the sun is shining, shining, shining

Hello the lilac will be blooming

there in your Scotland

on the wedding day

of your sister Anna.

When the storm is going to thunder

hang on to teh hope that makes you walk,

you have to keeo your head up singing

because victory loves ardent hearts

Hello the sun is shining, shining, shining

hello, here you are back again

there it's your village

at the green cottage

where your love is waiting.

Hello, the sun is shining, shining, shining

Hello, whistle with a joyful heart

There in your thatched cottage

all your life

you will live happily.
