about

A beautiful song about the simple joys in life: Romance, Love and picking Wild Blackberries.

English Translation: The Courtship of the Bears

lyrics

English Translation: The Courtship of the Bears

I’ve seen the flowers in the fields
And I’ve seen the pretty blue lakes
But I’ll tell you, the prettiest things
Are wild blackberries, ripe and sweet


(Chorus) Put your pretty paw in mine
We’ll take a walk, yes, cheek to cheek
And give me your basket of promises
To put the sweet and perfect berries in.

I’ve seen the people in their cities
And I’ve seen their pretty jewels
But I’ll tell you, the prettiest things
Are wild blackberries, ripe and sweet

(Repeat Chorus)


Lyrics in French:

Moi j’ai vu les fleurs dans les champs
Et, moi J’ai vu les beaux lacs bleus
Mais, moi j’te dis que les plus belles choses
Sont les mûres sauvages, mûres et doux

(Chorus)
Mets ta jolie patte dans la mienne
On va s’promener, oui, joue à joue
Et donne moi ton panier des promesses
Pour mettre les mûres parfaites et doux

Moi j’ai vu les gens dans leur villes
Et, Moi j'ai vu leur beaux bijoux
Mais, moi j’te dis que les plus belles choses
Sont les mûres sauvages, mûres et doux

(Repeat Chorus)
