Lirieke vir Les corons
Et c'était mon enfance, et elle était heureuse,
Dans la buée des lessiveuses,
Et j'avais des terrils à défaut de montagnes,
D'en haut je voyais la campagne,
Mon père était "gueule noire" comme l'étaient ses parents,
Ma mère avait les cheveux blancs,
Ils étaient de la fosse, comme on est d'un pays,
Grâce à eux je sais qui je suis...
Au nord, c'étaient les corons,
La terre c'était le charbon,
Le ciel c'était l'horizon,
Les hommes des mineurs de fond...
Lees dit in Engels
And that was my childhood, and she was happy,
In the mist of washing machines,
And I had heaps failing mountains,
From above I saw the countryside,
My father was a "black mouth" as were his parents,
My mother had white hair,
They were of the pit, as it is a country,
Thanks to them I know who I am ...
To the north were the settlements,
The land was coal,
The sky was the horizon,
Men underground miners...
