lyrics

1. Vous qui nous regardez passer
Dans le soleil et sous l'orage
Peut-être que vous pensez
Que nous avons bien du courage
Pour ainsi nous harasser
A courir le long des routes
Vous ne savez ce que c'est
Vous n'aurez jamais sans doute...

REFRAIN:
Une fleur au chapeau
A la bouche une chanson
Un cœur joyeux et sincère
Et c'est tout ce qu'il faut
A nous filles et garçons
Pour aller au bout de la terre.

2. O comme nous serions heureux
Si nous pouvions la vie entière
Courir par les chemins ombreux
Ou sur les routes des familières
Depuis les sommets neigeux
Jusqu'au bord des mers profondes
A travers nos cris joyeux
Nous dirions au vaste monde…

REFRAIN.

3. Hélas il n'en est pas ainsi
Et notre tâche est plus aride
Mais il nous faut du cœur aussi
Il nous faut des bras solides
Pour combattre sans merci
La laideur et la paresse
A travers lutte et souci
Il nous faut garder sans cesse...

1. You who watch us marching
Under the sun or in the storm,
Perhaps you think
That we have a lot of courage
To exhaust us
As we are walking down the roads.
You don't know what it is
You will probably never...

CHORUS:
A flower in a hat,
A song that we sing,
A joyful and sincere heart.
And that's all it takes us, boys,
To travel to the end of earth.

2. Ah how happy we would be
If we could, our whole lives,
Be walking – either dusty trails
Or familiar roads,
From the snowy peaks
To the edge of deep seas.
And with our joyful song,
We would say to the whole wide world:

CHORUS.

3. Alas, this is not how it is,
And our task is hard.
You need a big heart,
As well as strong arms—
To fight without hesitation,
Without being mean and lazy.
Through all our struggles and worries
We must constantly keep…

CHORUS.
