Charles Aznavour les aventuriers

Select language to translate this lyric

They went
As far as their boat could take them
To find out what was found at the end of the universe
To find out where the sea ended
They got lost
Between the sun and the never-ending water
Hanging on the shrouds with their eyes towards the horizon
On the verge of losing sight reason
To be able to hold on
To not let themselves die
What they had to endure
Will we never know?
But God gave them given
Princesses for slaves
And chained rights
And the keys to a paradise of a wonderful world
From empires to treasures fabulous, fabulous
They had left
Because they must have found the world too small
Disgusted by friends, disappointed by their loves
br/>Tired of living day to day
Some stayed behind
And their names are now learned by schoolchildren
They must have died one day contemplating the naked
The stars of an unknown sky
Some less happy
One day returned home
To grow old by a big fire
Dé consumed with regret
But others will leave
And what we do to their elders
They will do it again
When the earth no longer has no secret for them
They will conquer in the skies
These eldorados, these immensities
Which the adventurers give us as a gift
