Bonjour

choir leader, I am looking for the French translation of this piece Dana Dana by Bardos:

Hey, adjust your foot well,
its ten carnivals, that you now dance,
hey dana dana dana danajdom...

Hey, this little girl is my father's child,
she loves my father's son,
hey dana dana dana danajdom...

Hey, my heart has a great sorrow,
you be the healer of my rose,
hey dana dana dana danajdom...

Hey, don't be smart, don't procrastinate,
get married, don't hesitate,
hey dana dana dana danajdom...

Hey, don't say that I'm ragged,
I am the father of nine children,
hey dana dana dana danajdom...

Hey, I don't want to speak to you, my rose,
just to see you, that is easier,
hey dana dana dana danajdom...

Hey, I didn't sleep but a spark,
I danced through the night,
hey dana dana dana danajdom...

Thank you for your help!

    Hey, adjust your feet well,
    ten carnivals that you already have,
    hair days give to the house.

      Hello Chris,

      indeed I started with online translators... but the translation is really very approximate and I would like to have a more precise and accurate one :)

      Sometimes Google Translate offers very funny translations but unfortunately not very accurate ;)

      Have a nice day!

      Hello,

      In the verse that I "translated," it is indeed possible to adapt the first two lines more... poetically. "hair days give to the house" poses more problems...

      "donajdom" translates into French as "two days"... but "two days" in Hungarian yields "két nap"... Good research ;-)

    Here is the best translation I could make with DEEPL

    Hey, put your feet in place,
    Ten carnivals since you walked,
    dana dana dana dana dana danajdom...

    Hey, this little girl is my brother's son,
    My father's son loves him,
    dana dana dana dana dana danajdom...

    Hey, my heart is in pain,
    Be the doctor of my rose,
    dana dana dana dana dana danajdom...

    Hey, don't play the smart one, don't delay
    Get married, don't be difficult.
    dana dana dana dana dana danajdom...

    Hey, don’t make me look like a rag.
    I’m the father of nine children,
    dana dana dana dana dana danajdom...

    Hey, don’t force me to talk to you, my rose,
    I’m just going to look at you, it’s easier.
    dana dana dana dana dana danajdom...

    Hey, I haven't slept a wink,
    I danced all night
    dana dana dana dana dana danajdom
