Genius English Translations
Grover Dale & George Chakiris - Nous Voyageons de Ville en Ville (English Translation)
[ETIENNE AND BILL]
We bound around, we wander free
We make our way from here to there
Without a home, without a care
We hit the road and sail the sea

[BILL]
We're here today, tomorrow gone

[ETIENNE AND BILL]
We roll along and nothing drags
We're mischief-makers, scallywags
We got it going on and on

[ETIENNE]
See the good over the bad

[BILL]
Riding a high, not looking down

[ETIENNE]
Love with a smile, not with a frown

[BILL]
Get happy and you won't be sad
[ETIENNE AND BILL]
We bound around, we wander free
We take a sniff of every flower
A wild whirl with evеry hour
And fruit of the forbidden tree

[ETIENNE]
We livе for love

[BILL]
The blowing breeze

[ETIENNE]
The smell of bread

[BILL]
The taste of wine

[ETIENNE AND BILL]
The golden sky, the growing vine
The dawning of a day to seize

[BILL]
Pretty looks from some mademoiselle

[ETIENNE]
A little lie-down in the hay
[BILL]
Love's sweet bud and bitter bouquet

[ETIENNE]
The little things we never tell

[ETIENNE AND BILL]
We bound around, we wander free
We never have tomorrow planned
A savvy damsel grabs your hand
And then you're where you want to be

[ETIENNE]
We're easy come

[BILL]
We're easy go

[ETIENNE AND BILL]
We play like players in a play
We may not know the lines to say
But we are putting on the show

[Bill]
Jump for joy and beat off the blues
[Etienne]
Keep with the wise, not with the fools

[Bill]
Play by heart and not by the rules

[Etienne & Bill]
You show your hand but never lose
We bound around we wander free
They call us cads of ill repute
They say we're wayward, dissolute
But see a kind of poetry

[ETIENNE]
Although we laugh

[BILL]
We often sigh

[ETIENNE AND BILL]
The story turns and alternates
From tragedy and evil fates
To comedy and bright blue sky
True friends, we'll stick till we fold
Princes of honor, daring, and dash
Noble knights, just without the cash
But with a solid heart of gold

We bound around, we wander free
Across the world and back around
They call us bounders but we're bound
To hit the road and sail the sea

We bound around, we sail the sea
Across the world and back around
They call us bounders but we're bound
To hit the road and wander free
