Original text with translation
France Gall
Il était venu de son pays de neige
Tout droit vers le Sud, sans presque s’arrêter.
Mon Dieu que c’est loin, que c’est loin de la Norvège, la Méditerranée
C'était'ses yeux verts, et c'était'sa guitare
Qui avaient payé ce voyage de fou.
Quand il en jouait, en lui offrait à boire, on lui donnait des sous.
Christiansen, il savait quelques mots de mauvais français.
Christiansen, il savait quelques mots de mauvais anglais.
Et pourtant, je comprenais bien
Même quand il ne disait rien, Christiansen
Le jour où j’irai le rejoindre en Norvège
Je reconnaîtrai cette maison d’Oslo
Et ce vieux traîneau qu’il lançait'sur la neige
Comme on lance un bateau.
Je reconnaîtrai la fameuse Christine
Dont il me parlait pour me faire enrager.
Je ne l’aime pas, cette jolie cousine, elle l’a trop aimé.
Christiansen, il dormait’sur la plage entre deux rochers.
Christiansen, s’il mangeait quelquefois, c’est que j’y pensais.
Et pourtant, il était heureux
Oui, vraiment, il était heureux, Christiansen.
Il est repartis vers son pays de neige
Et la plage d’or où l’on s’est tant baignés
A le sable gris des plages de Norvège, il a tout emporté
Pour me le redonner quand je le reverrai.
He had come from his land of snow
Straight south, hardly stopping.
My God it's far, it's far from Norway, the Mediterranean
It was his green eyes, and it was his guitar
Who had paid for this crazy trip.
When he played it, offered him a drink, he was given pennies.
Christiansen, he knew a few words of bad French.
Christiansen, he knew a few words of bad English.
And yet I understood
Even when he said nothing, Christiansen
The day I will join him in Norway
I will recognize this house in Oslo
And this old sled he was throwing on the snow
Like launching a boat.
I will recognize the famous Christine
Which he was telling me to make me angry.
I don't love her, that pretty cousin, she loved her too much.
Christiansen, he slept on the beach between two rocks.
Christiansen, if he ate sometimes, it was because I thought about it.
And yet he was happy
Yes, really, he was happy, Christiansen.
He went back to his land of snow
And the golden beach where we bathed so much
To the gray sands of Norwegian beaches, he took it all away
To give it back to me when I see it again.
