Le vieux chalet ou Là-haut sur la montagne
Hugues Aufray
The old chalet or Up there on the mountain
Up there on the mountain, there was an old chalet.
White walls, shingled roof,
In front of the door an old birch tree.
Up there on the mountain, there was an old chalet
Up there on the mountain, the old chalet collapsed
The snow and rocks
Had united to tear it down
Up there on the mountain, the old chalet collapsed
Up there on the mountain, when Jean came to the chalet
He cried with all his heart
Over the debris of his happiness
Up there on the mountain, when Jean came to the chalet
Up there on the mountain, there is a new chalet
Because Jean with a brave heart
Rebuilt it more beautiful than before
Up there on the mountain, there is a new chalet.
