1. Goodbye Madras, goodbye scarves
Goodbye rob silk, goodbye necklaces, cabbages
Doudou? less, he who suffered
H?la, h?la, it’s forever
Doudou? less, what has suffered
H?la, h?la, it’s forever
If today I live? Paris
That's not why I forget the country.
2. Farewell my islands in the bright sun
Beautiful landscapes under the blue sky
There's nothing we can do about it, that's life
Time flies and everything ends
There's nothing we can do about it, that's life
Time flies and everything ends.
If today I live? Paris
That's not why I forget the country.
3. Close your eyes and think? me
Pretty Doudou who was in my arms
Maybe one day we will see each other again
You have to believe it, don't cry
Maybe one day we will meet will see again
You have to believe it, don't cry
If today I live? Paris
That's not why I forget the country.
4. Goodbye to the beach, goodbye to beguine
Bouquets of flowers in such fine colors
The plane is taking off, the boat is going
Goodbye scarves, goodbye to Madras
The plane is taking off , the boat goes
Goodbye scarves, goodbye Madras
If today I live? Paris
That's not why I forget the country.
5. Goodbye Madras, goodbye scarves
Goodbye silk rob, goodbye necklaces, choux buns
Doudou? less, what happened
H?la, h?la, it’s forever
Doudou? less, li que a pati
H?la, h?la, it’s forever’
