Le Gitan et la Fille [English translation]

The gypsy said to the girl:

"Whatever the price of love,

For you, I will end my days

Behind the gates (*1)

I will pillage the people of the town

To offer you a satin dress

You will not say more than I'm a rascal

A useless...

My hands, just now so strong

Will be more sweet than wood

Of the guitar that plays for you

In front of your door...."

The gypsy said to the girl:

"Whatever the price of love,

For you, I will end my days

Behind the gates (see *1)

I will kill those who are watching you

When the sweet morning sun

Slips in the hollow of your loins

And it lingers

And there, I will say to you, "I love you"

Like we said Jesus' name.

I cry in the street

Like a blasphemy...."

The gypsy said to the girl:

"Whatever the price of love,

For you, I will end my days

Behind the gates (see *1)

Around you, I'll make the shadow

To be the only one to see you

To be the only one under your look

And I'm confused....

And when death will undo (*2)

The forged chains by love,

For you, I will end my days

At the bottom of the earth"
