lyrics

Je suis un Anglais, un Anglais en Bourgogne. Je traverse la region, par le train, de l'Yonne. Ma destination finale, une village, pres de Sens. Pour visiter la maison, chez Mes Parents. Beaucoup des annees, ils ont habiter las, parce-que L'Angleterre, l'amitie n'offrait pas. Maintenant le cours, il a tournee, et ma mere et mon pere, ils doivent retourner...
