Le Vagabond [English translation]

I have the look of a lost girl 1

But I'm a very nice person

I'm a princess from a castle

Where everything is bright, where everything is beautiful

A big garden full of flowers

In the blue sky, my heart soars

The flowers hanging from the trees

Are always white as in springtime

But a vagabond

Who's a handsome boy

Sings songs to me

Which give shivers

He walks the roads

Come rain or shine

He sings for whoever will listen

His hair in the wind

He's a vagabond

Who's a handsome boy

He sings songs

La la la la

He said to me: "Leave your castle.

Against my heart it will be warm.

I will give you love

and we will love each other for ever."

He wasn't a wealthy prince

He was my prince charming

As I was a well brought up young girl

I couldn't become a lost girl

He's a vagabond

Who's a handsome boy

He sings songs

Which give shivers

He walks the roads

Come rain or shine

He sings for whoever will listen

His hair in the wind

He's a vagabond

Who's a handsome boy

He sings songs

La la la la

But my story isn't true

It is just a dream that I had

And when I awoke

The sun was on my pillow

And every night, When I go to sleep

I search in vain for my golden dream

This time I will leave my castle

To follow my handsome prince

He's a vagabond

Who's a handsome boy

He sings songs

Which give shivers

And I see myself on the road

Come rain or shine

And it's my heart he listens to

Our love in the wind

We're vagabonds

We sings songs

And I have the shivers

La la la la la la la la!
