Famous Barbara (singer) Quotes

“He died before the night was through
Without farewell, or I love you
My father, my father.
The sky in Nantes
Rips my heart with grief.”

Mais il mourut à la nuit même
Sans un adieu, sans un je t'aime
Mon père, mon père
le ciel de Nantes
Rend mon coeur chagrin.

Nantes.
Song lyrics

“So try not to be, too surprised,
And forgive me, as you try,
But children, they're all the same,
In Paris, or in Gottingen.”

Et tant pis pour ceux qui s'etonnent
Et que les autres me pardonnent
Mais les enfants ce sont les memes
A Paris ou a Gottingen.
Göttingen.
Song lyrics

“One fine day, or perhaps one night,
Near a lake, when I'm sleeping,
Suddenly, the skies cave in,
And out of nowhere,
Surges an eagle, black.”

Un beau jour, ou peut-etre une nuit,
Près d'un lac, je m'étais endormie,
Quand soudain, semblant crever le ciel,
Et venant de nulle part,
Surgit un aigle noir.
L'Aigle noir.
Song lyrics
