Vive le vent

On the long road
All covered in white snow
An old man approaches
With his cane in hand
And up high the wind
Whistles through the branches
It whispers the romance
He sang as a little child:

{Chorus:}
Long live the wind, long live the wind
Long live the winter wind
That goes whistling, blowing
Through the tall green pines...
Oh! Long live the time, long live the time
Long live the winter time
Snowball fights and New Year's Day
And happy New Year, Grandma...
Merry, merry Christmas
With a thousand candles
When the bells of the night
Sing up to the sky,
Oh! Long live the wind, long live the wind
Long live the winter wind
That brings back to old children
Their memories from yesterday...

And the old man
Descends toward the village,
It's the time when all is calm
And the shadows dance by the fire
But in every house
There's a festive air
Everywhere the table's set
And you can hear the same song:
{to the Chorus}

Snowball fights and New Year's Day
And happy New Year, Grandma!
Long live the winter wind!
