Translation of Fort Alamour from French to English
Hou, hou, hou
Hou, hou, hou
There's this one they call a poet
That one they call a troubadour
There's her whom they would like to please
And who always ignores them
They write her whole pages
It's love in a new way, it's pure love
Hou, hou, hou
But the princess acts proud
And does not come down from her tower
Her lover has whole cages of bad dogs and vultures
So they juggle between the stones
They sing while beating drums
(Since the beauty they love has all the rights)
It's like Fort Alamo
(Singing is of no help)
No help
(By repeating their poems a thousand times)
A thousand times
(They turn) they turn (they turn around)
It's like Fort Alamo, but it's Fort Love
Hou, hou, hou
Hou, hou, hou
The only cross that enlightens them
Has a Lady's contours
They would go around the Earth
To the other world and back
Shining like fine stones
Dirty like black ploughs
Hou, hou, hou
They have a certain know-how, they say
That falling in love
Is not like going into business
At the same schedule every day
And that it's even the opposite
But there, they're talking to deaf people
(Since the beauty they love has all the rights)
It's like Fort Alamo
(Singing is of no help)
No help
(By repeating their poems a thousand times)
A thousand times
(They turn) they turn (they turn around)
It's like Fort Alamo, but it's Fort Love
Hou, hou, hou
Hou, hou, hou
It's not a question of walls
Nor a feeling of height
It's that everything around them is a battle
Everything is scoundrel and darkness
So they dream while looking at the work
They dream that we think more about it inside
(Since the beauty they love has all the rights)
It's like Fort Alamo
(Singing is of no help)
No help
(By repeating their poems a thousand times)
A thousand times
(They turn) they turn (they turn around)
They turn
(Since the beauty they love has all the rights)
It's like Fort Alamo
(Singing is of no help)
No help
(By repeating their poems a thousand times)
A thousand times
(They turn) they turn (they turn around)
They turn
(They turn) they turn (they turn around)
It's like Fort Alamo
(They turn) they turn (they turn around)
(They turn) they turn (they turn around)
By repeating their poems a thousand times
(They turn) they turn (they turn around)
Hou, hou, hou
Hou, hou, hou
