Translation
Run faster, Charlie
The peasant named Charlie
Told his neighbor Jean,
"We both have been havin' feelings for the same gal for a while now, I reckon.
Let's do a race
Acrost the country.
The one that'll win
Will marry Lucie."
"Run faster, Charlie, and you'll win.
Don't look back.
Run faster, Charlie, and you'll win –
The gal will be yours."
Jean had a fancy car
That turned heads.
He believed that his wealth
could buy love.
He had once before opened
The doors of his palace
To Mademoiselle Lucie's beautiful green eyes.
"Run faster, Charlie, and you'll win.
Don't look back.
Run faster, Charlie, and you'll win –
The gal will be yours."
But the peasant named Charlie
Was not as wealthy as Jean.
He didn't have nice clothes
And ran barefoot.
He was familiar with the land, forests, and rivers –
And his friend, the wind, was helping him by blowing in his back as he ran.
"Run faster, Charlie, and you'll win.
Don't look back.
Run faster, Charlie, and you'll win –
The gal will be yours."
"Faster, Charlie."
