Sur Les Bords De La Moselle,
j'avais un amour,
qui m'faisait des quenelles,
des patates au four.
Elle me cuisait des tartes aux myrtilles,
me glissait dans ses lettres des jonquilles.

Sur Les Bords De La Moselle,
je prenais le train,
j'allais voir Mirabelle les jeudi matins.
Dans les squares d'Epinal,
on s'envoyait des baisers que l'hiver nous givrait.

Sur Les Bords De La Moselle,
sur la voie ferrée, de Nancy à Vittel,
mon père travaillait, il rêvait de l'Orient,
de la Perse en serrant les éclisses des traverses.

Sur Les Bords De La Moselle,
j'avais un amour,
elle m'faisait des quenelles,
des patates au four,
j'avais quinze ans à peine et je brûlais
les vieux navires de guerre qui coulaient.

On The River Of The Moselle, I had a love, which made me quenelles, potatoes in the oven.
She cooked me blueberry tarts, slid me in her letters of daffodils.

On The River Of The Moselle, I took the train, I went to see "Mirabelle"on Thursday mornings.
In the public gardens of Epinal, we sent kisses which the winter frosted us.

On The River Of The Moselle, on the railroad, of Nancy to Vittel, my father worked, he dreamed about the East, about Persia by squeezing the raiilroad tie.

On The Edges Of The Moselle, I had love, she made me quenelles, potatoes in the oven, I was fifteen years old hardly and I burned the old warships which poured.

* Moselle it s a river in east country of France, Nancy and Vittel are towns in France and Mirabelle is a girl's name

This is gorgeous! Superb production - especially on those vocals. I can hear every breath you take, it's like being in the same room! Those subtle little dobro touches are magical. I loved it!
