Frédéric Bérat , |
| translated by Tony Provencher |
| When far from us the Winter flies, |
| When the world is born to hope anew, |
| Under France's lovely skies, |
| When the sun returns in sweeter hue, |
| When Nature 'round us greener be, |
| When swallows homeward wing their way, |
| I love to see my Normandy, |
| The land that gave to me the light of day. |
| Switzerland's dales I did behold, |
| And her chalets and glaciers blue; |
| I've seen Italian skies of gold, |
| And the gondoliers of Venice too. |
| Although these lands enchanted me, |
| I knew there was no hideaway |
| More lovely than my Normandy, |
| The land that gave to me the light of day. |
| There comes a time, as life unfolds, |
| That brings an end to reveries. |
| A time when must the ransomed soul |
| Revisit cherished memories. |
| When time has chilled my muse and me, |
| And songs of love are sung away, |
| I'll see again my Normandy, |
| The land that gave to me the light of day. |
