Mon petit champ de broccoli

 

- with rough translation... very fond moments spent in my little field of broccoli as a child...

 

 

Quand j'étais enfant,

J'ai fait une découverte

Tout à fait émerveillante :

J'ai trouvé un petit champ

De broccoli non loin des bois qui

Longeaient la cour de ma maison.

 

When I was a child,

I made a discovery

That was so amazing :

I found a little field

Of broccoli not far from the woods that

Stretched along the backyard of my house.

 

Des rangées et des rangées

De broccoli devant moi,

Et je m'assoyais entres elles,

Le soleil me tapant sur la tête,

Et j'étais si paisible, émerveillée,

Totalement remplie de joie.

 

Rows and rows

Of broccoli before me,

And I'd sit between them,

The sun heating my head,

And I was so at peace, amazed,

Totally filled with joy.

 

Assise-là, je m'adonnais à grignoter

Sur ces belles et incroyables découvertes,

Complètement contente de cette chance...

Dans mon insouciance d'enfant,

Je n'avais jamais pensé que ce broccoli

Pouvait être la propriété de quelqu'un.

 

While sitting there, I indulged in snacking

On these beautiful and incredible discoveries,

Absolutely happy for this chance...

In my child's unawareness,

I'd never even thought that this broccoli

Could be someone's property.

 

C'est un de mes plus beaux souvenirs,

Mon petit champ de broccoli.

 

It's one of my dearest memories,

My little field of broccoli.

Thank God they weren't Brussel sprouts,
To many makes my stomach belch.

A rare find, obviously. Such a lovely memory to have in your 'bank'. Like a secret garden. :) Blessings, Allen
