Jean Ferrat - My country was beautiful


Original title: "Mon pays était beau"
Year:1980
My country was beautiful
Of a wild beauty
And man, horse, and wood, and tool
Lived in harmony
Up to that great havoc
Noone can simply live here anymore

It's raining on that village
With dark alleys
And nothing else moves
The silence settles at the feet of our bed
Oh silence
Tender and harrowing violin
Joyous brass band
Cover us
Of the big coat of night
With your giant wings

My country was beautiful
Of a wild beauty
And man, horse, and wood, and tool
Lived in harmony
Up to that great havoc
Noone can simply live here anymore
