Lyrics " Le portugais "

Original text with translation

Le portugais

Joe Dassin

Original text

Avec son marteau piqueur

Il creuse le sillon

De la route de demain

Il y met du coeur

Le soleil et le gel

Sont écrits sur ses mains

Le Portugais dans son cire tout rouge

Qui ressemble à un épouvantail

As-tu vu l'étrange laboureur

Des prairies de béton

Et des champs de rocaille?

Il faut en faire des voyages

Il faut en faire du chemin

Ce n’est plus dans son village

Qu’on peut gagner son pain

Loin de son toit, de sa ville

À cinq cent lieux vers le nord

Le soir dans un bidonville

Le Portugais s’endort

Il est arrivé

À la Gare d’Austerlitz

Voilà deux ans déjà

Il n’a qu’une idée

Gagner beaucoup d’argent

Et retourner là-bas

Le Portugais dans son cire tout rouge

Qui ressemble à un épouvantail

Il ne t’entend pas

Il est sur le chemin qui mène au Portugal

Il faut en faire des voyages

Il faut en faire du chemin

Ce n’est plus dans son village

Qu’on peut gagner son pain

Loin de son toit, de sa ville

À cinq cent lieux vers le nord

Le soir dans un bidonville

Le Portugais s’endort

Song translation

With his jackhammer

He digs the furrow

From the road of tomorrow

He puts his heart into it

Sun and Frost

Are written on his hands

The Portuguese in his all-red wax

Who looks like a scarecrow

Have you seen the strange plowman

concrete meadows

What about rock fields?

Gotta make some trips

We gotta go a long way

It is no longer in his village

That we can earn our bread

Far from his home, from his city

five hundred leagues to the north

Evening in a slum

The Portuguese falls asleep

He arrived

At Gare d'Austerlitz

It's been two years already

He has only one idea

Earn lots of money

And go back there

The Portuguese in his all-red wax

Who looks like a scarecrow

He can't hear you

He's on the way to Portugal

Gotta make some trips

We gotta go a long way

It is no longer in his village

That we can earn our bread

Far from his home, from his city

five hundred leagues to the north

Evening in a slum

The Portuguese falls asleep
