Tiens, v'là un marin [English translation]

What do you know! Here's a sailor

He is still far away

But we see from afar

That it is a sailor...

There you go here is a sailor

He is not mine

He is never mine

But he's a sailor

It's almost the same

The same one that

that said "I love you,

I love you for life."

There you go! Here's a sailor

Jesus Christ

A sailor is so cool

when he comes back to you

There you go! Here's a sailor

I love sailors

To see this sailor

It reminded me of my sailor

It reminded me that I love a man

A man, my man

Who wears the same uniform

as the man who is coming

There you go! Here's a sailor

Suitcase in hand

He has on his hip

A bag for sailors

There you go here's a sailor

He is whistling a chorus

That in the morning

Accompanies him on his path

It's almost the same

The same one that

that said "I love you,

I love you for life."

There you go! Here's a sailor

Because nothing resembles

A sailor more

Than another sailor

There you go! Here's a sailor

When he is closer

I read his forehead*

What direction is he coming from

If only it was my man

Just like my man

Beautiful like a God in uniform

Muscular and dressed as a sailor

Nothing I trembled for nothing

To be a sailor,

It really a sailor

But it is not mine

Mine, hopefully mine

Did not take the path

Of this far away country

Where from a sailor

never returns

never returns

never returns....
