Le Clocher Du Village
Claude François
The Village Bell Tower
The village bell tower
When it was needed
The village bell tower
You didn't ring
The girl I love
This morning
You saw her leave
And to avoid
This sorrow
You should have warned me
The village bell tower
When it was needed
The village bell tower
You didn't ring
Now everyone
Will mock me
Saying around
That she didn't love me
But if I had known
Thanks to you
That she was going to leave
I could have run after her
And I would have done everything to keep her
The village bell tower
I was your friend
And it's a shame
Because you betrayed me
I'm going on a trip
I won't come back
The village bell tower
It's because of you
The village bell tower
For my wedding
It's not you who
Will ring
