La Provence
Nana Mouskouri
The South of France
In the South of France
The South of France
A blooming land
People have called you the garden of love
The South of France
The South of France
Made of dreams -
You bring people together
By day and by night
Like Romeo and Juliet
They were known
For even as children they walked
Hand in hand through the village
They felt like man and wife -
He said to her:
Whatever happens
I'll stay true to you
I belong to you
The South of France
The South of France
...
In the winter he moved to the city -
Tried his luck
I'll be back soon
He said
As a wealthy man
Spring and summer passed by -
No letter came from him
But she didn't look at anyone else -
She waited for him
The South of France
The South of France
...
The South of France
The South of France
Made of dreams -
What do you know about the longing
Of people at night?
When she found out
He was back
She burst into tears
Then she ran through the whole village
To his parents' house
His father told her
My child
You must not come in
It only hurts when you see him -
He didn't come alone
The South of France
The South of France
...
The South of France
The South of France
Made of dreams -
What do you know about the longing
Of people at night?
His father told her
My child
