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