Le petit pont de bois [English translation]

You remember the bridge

That we used to cross

To cross the river

Very close to the house

The little wooden bridge

That hardly held anymore

Only by a great mystery

And two straight stakes

The little wooden bridge

That hardly held anymore

Only by a great mystery

And two straight stakes

If you come back there

You will see the river

And I remade in stone

The little wooden bridge

Then I covered it

With green logs

To give back to the river

Its old look of yesteryear

Then I covered it

With green logs

To give back to the river

Its old look of yesteryear

Tadidadilalam ...

Then I covered it

With green logs

To give back to the river

Its old look of yesteryear

It has been following ever since

Its imaginary course

'Cause it's not raining any more

than once or twice a year

But in this corner of the earth

A weird little bridge

Spans a water lily

In the middle of the ferns

But in this corner of the earth

A weird little bridge

Spans a water lily

In the middle of the ferns

Tadididilam ...

To go nowhere

And yet I'm proud of it
