ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE MEANING FOLLOWS FRENCH LYRICS
Longtemps j’ai garde mon cœur ferme
Aux attaques de la foudre
Je n’ voulais plus en decoudre
Y a bien fallu me resoudre
Mais un cœur clos est lourd a porter
Comme un gel sur les vendanges
Si tu n’etais pas un ange
Je n’y perdais pas au change
Il n’y avait que moi
Puis il y a eu toi
Et il y avait tout
Entre nous
Tu es mon chez-moi
Mon pays c’est toi
Il n’y a plus que nous
Jusqu’au bout
Jamais je n’avais imagine
Suivre une voie dangereuse
Jusqu’a tomber amoureuse
D’une ame si savoureuse
Mes jours aux tiens sont si emmeles
Je ne pourrais m’en deprendre
Je ne veux plus m’en defendre
Sans toi mon cœur va se fendre
Il n’y avait que moi
Puis il y a eu toi
Et il y avait tout
Entre nous
Tu es mon chez-moi
Mon pays c’est toi
Il n’y a plus que nous
Jusqu’au bout
Chaque jour qu’il m’est encore donne
De gouter a ton etreinte
Je peux avancer sans crainte
De ne pas laisser d’empreinte
Il n’y avait que moi
Puis il y a eu toi
Et il y avait tout
Entre nous
Tu es mon chez-moi
Mon pays c’est toi
Il n’y aura que nous
Et c’est tout
MY COUNTRY IS YOU
For a long time I kept my heart closed
Against the attacks of thunder
I didn’t want to fight it anymore
I had to resign myself to it
But a closed heart is heavy to carry
Like a frost on the grape crop
Even if you weren’t an angel
I wasn’t losing on the exchange
There was only me
Then there was you
And there was everything
Between us
You are my home
My country is you
There is only us
Till the end
I had never imagined
Following a dangerous path
Up to becoming in love
With such a delightful soul
My days are so enmeshed with yours
I couldn’t stop being here
I don’t want to defend myself anymore
Without you my heart will split
There was only me
Then there was you
And there was everything
Between us
You are my home
My country is you
There is only us
Till the end
Every day that I can still
Taste your embrace
I can go forward without fear
Of not leaving a trace
There was only me
Then there was you
And there was everything
Between us
You are my home
My country is you
There will only be us
And that’s all
