Talila "Chanson d'exil"
------------------------------------
This Yiddish tune, so soft, so throbbing
I played it on my child’s violin
The melody that made my parents cry
Talks about exile, about the emigrant life
It followed on their sad journey
All those driven from pogroms to villages
Running away from Warsaw, Berlin, Russia
To come and live free in Paris.
They killed in front of the Sans-Souci
Indifference replaced shouting
In abundance and in oblivion
It starts again.
This very old tune so soft, so throbbing
I played it on my child’s violin
The melody that made my parents cry
Talks about exile, about the emigrant life
I have your beautiful face in front of me, Elsa
Which was humming for a last trip
This old tune full of nostalgia, tears, regrets
That I was playing on my child's violin.
