Dans le brouillard s'en vont un paysan...
Language: French (Français)
Dans le brouillard s'en vont un paysan cagneux
Et son bœuf lentement dans le brouillard d'automne
Qui cache les hameaux pauvres et vergogneux
En s'en allant là-bas le paysan chantonne
Une chanson d'amour et d'infidélité
Qui parle d'une bague et d'un cœur que l'on brise
Oh! l'automne, l'automne à fait mourir l'été
Dans le brouillard s'en vont deux silhouettes grises

Autumn
Language: English after the French (Français)
Off in the mist go a knock-kneed peasant
and his ox, slowly, in the autumn mist
that conceals the poor and shameless hamlets.
And as he goes the peasant hums
a song of love and infidelity
that speaks of a ring and a heart being broken.
Oh autumn, autumn has caused the death of summer.
Off in the mist go two gray silhouettes.
