Lyrics

Il était une fois un petit garçon
Qui vivait dans une grande maison
Sa vie n'était que joie et bonheur
Et pourtant au fond de son cњur
Il voulait devenir grand
Rêvait d'être un homme.
Chaque soir il y pensait
Quand sa maman le berçait
Donna Donna Donna Donna
Tu regretteras le temps
Donna Donna Donna Donna
Oùtu étais un enfant
Puis il a grandi, puis il est parti
Et il a découvert la vie
Les amours déçues, la faim et la peur
Et souvent au fond de son cњur
Il revoyait son enfance
Rêvait d’autrefois
Tristement il y pensait
Et il se souvenait
Parfois je pense àce petit garçon,
Ce petit garçon que j'étais.

Lyrics translation

Once Upon a time there was a little boy
Who lived in a big house
His life was only joy and happiness
And yet deep down in his heart
He wanted to grow up
Dreamed of being a man.
Every night he thought about it
When his mom cradled him
Woman Woman Woman Woman
You'll regret the time
Woman Woman Woman Woman
Where Were you a child
Then he grew up, then he left
And he discovered life
Disappointed loves, hunger and fear
And often in the back of his heart
He was going back to his childhood.
Dreamed of yesteryear
Sadly he thought about it
And he remembered
Sometimes I think of this little boy,
That little boy I was.
