GUITARE ET TAMBOURIN (French)
Jean Broussolle, Pete de Angelis

Il a suffit qu'un beau matin
Un tambourin suive le refrain d'une guitare
Pour que partout de Tahiti à la Volga
Aussitôt ce soit la même histoire

Et vole les jolies demoiselles
Comme des tourterelles pour s'en aller danser
En ribambelle comme les hirondelles
S'en vont à tire d'ailes au soleil de l'été

Il a suffit qu'un beau matin
Un tambourin suive le refrain des Balalaï-aïka
Pour qu'aussitôt la fille en pleurs
Oublie son cœur dans les coquelicots
Le long de la Volga

Et danse, danse sous les tonnelles
La pauvre demoiselle qui avait tant pleuré
Et recommence avant les fiançailles
Les baisers dans la paille derrière les moulins

Il a suffit qu'un beau matin
Un tambourin suive le refrain d'une guitare
Pour qu'aussitôt à Tahiti, la Vahiné
Parte dans les flots larguer l'amarre

Et vole la jolie demoiselle
Comme une tourterelle pour s'en aller danser
Vogue la belle, vogue sur la lagune
Les vagues sous la lune ont le goût des baisers

À Tahiti ou à Capri
Comme là-bas sur la Volga
GUITAR AND TAMBOURINE


It was enough on a fine morning
For a tamborine to follow the refrain of a guitar
For everywhere, from Tahiti to the Volga
Right away for it to be the same old story

And the pretty damsels fly,
Like turtledoves, to go dancing
In a swarm, as swallows
Fly off swiftly in the summer sun

It was enough on a fine morning
For a tamborine to follow the refrain of balalaikas
For the weeping damsel instantly
to forget her heart among the poppies
along the Volga

And dance, dance under the arbors
The poor damsel who had wept so
It all starts up again, before betrothals,
Kisses in the straw behind the mills

It was enough on a fine morning
For a tamborine to follow the refrain of a guitar
For immediately in Tahiti the hula dancer
Goes off onto the waves, casting off

And off flies the lovely damsel
Like a turtledove, to go dancing
The beauty floats, floats on the lagoon
The waves under the moon taste like kisses

From Tahiti, or on Capri,
Just like over there by the Volga.
Recording by Les compagnons de la chanson.
