Sweet France

It comes back to my mind
familiar memories
I visualize my black blouse
When I was a school boy
On the way to school
I sang out loud
ballads without words
old songs of yesteryears
 
Sweet France
Dear country of my childhood
Cradled in such carefree blissfulness
I've kept you in my heart!
My village with the bell tower with the noble houses
Where the kids of my age
have shared my bliss
Yes, I love you
and I give you this poem
Yes, I love you
in joy or in pain
Sweet France
Dear country of my childhood
cradled in such carefree blissfulness
I've kept you in my heart
 
I've known landscapes
and these wonderful suns
on distant journeys
Far away under other skies
But how much I prefer
My blue sky, my horizon
My main road and my river
My prairie and my house.
