La Langue De Chez Nous
Words and music: Yves Duteil

1 It's a beautiful language with superb words
Which carries its history through its accents
Where we smell the music and the scent of herbs
The goat's cheese and the wheat bread
And from Mont Saint-Michel to Contrescarpe
Listening to the people of this country speak
It would be as if the wind had been caught in a harp
And that he kept all the harmonies
2 In this beautiful language with the colors of Provence
Where the flavor of things is already in the words
It's d 'first by speaking the party begins
And we drink words as well as water
The voices resemble the courses of rivers and rivers
They respond in the meanders, in the wind in the reeds
Sometimes even in the torrents that carry thunder
By polishing the stones on the banks of the streams
3 It is a beautiful language to another end of the world
A bubble of France in the north of a continent
Crapped in a vice but yet so fertile
Locked in ice at the top of a volcano
br/>She built bridges across the Atlantic
She left her nest for another land
And like a swallow in the spring of music
She returns to sing us her sorrows and her hopes
4 Tell us that there in this land of snow
She faced the winds that blow from everywhere
To impose her words even in the colleges
And that we still speak our local language
It is a beautiful language to those who know how to defend it
It offers the treasures of infinite riches
Words who we lacked to be able to understand each other
And the strength it takes to live in harmony
5 And from the île d'Orléans to the Contrescarpe
In ©listening to the people of this country singing
It seems as if the wind has caught itself in a harp
And that it has composed a whole symphony
And from the island of 'Orléans to the Contrescarpe
Listening to the people of this country singing
One would say that the wind was caught in a harp
And that it composed a whole symphony
