Le temps des cerises [English translation]

When we sing the season of cherries,

Cheerful nightingale and mocking blackbird

Will all celebrate!

Pretty girls will be madly happy

And lovers will have sun in the heart!

When we sing the cherries season

The mocking blackbird will whistle !

But how short is the season of cherries

When people, dreaming two by two,

Go gather earrings...

Cherries of love with the same dresses,

Falling under the leaves like blood drops

But how short is the season of cherries,

When dreaming people gather coral earrings !

When the season of cherries is here,

If you are afraid of heartaches,

Avoid the pretty girls !

If I am not afraid of cruel sorrow

I won't live without suffering...

When the season of cherries is here

You will have heartaches too!

I will forever love the season of cherries,

As I keep from this time

An open wound in the heart!

If Lady Fortune is given to me,

She will never know how to soothe my pain...

I will forever love the season of cherries

And the memory I keep in my heart!
