Original text with translation
Georges Moustaki
Il y avait des bois et des champs
Les fruits poussaient spontanément
Et les fleuves étaient transparents
Avant que viennent les marchands
La terre aimait bien ses enfants
Et la nuit berçait les amants
On faisait l’amour tendrement
Avant que viennent les marchands
On travaillait tout doucement
On se reposait très souvent
On allait en tapis volant
Visiter les pays d’Orient
Le désert était encore blanc
Avant que viennent les marchands
On était tous les fils du vent
Et les chiens n'étaient pas méchants
On pouvait rêver librement
Avant que viennent les marchands
On travaillait tout doucement
On se reposait très souvent
On vivait le reste du temps
There were woods and fields
The fruits grew spontaneously
And the rivers were transparent
Before the merchants come
The earth loved her children
And the night rocked the lovers
We made love tenderly
Before the merchants come
We were working slowly
We rested very often
We were going by magic carpet
Visit the countries of the Orient
The desert was still white
Before the merchants come
We were all sons of the wind
And the dogs weren't mean
We could dream freely
Before the merchants come
We were working slowly
We rested very often
We lived the rest of the time
