Lyrics

Il tait une fois un petit garon
Qui vivait dans une grande maison
Sa vie n’tait que joie et bonheur
Et pourtant au fond de son cњur
Il voulait devenir grand
Rvait d’tre un homme.
Chaque soir il y pensait
Quand sa maman le berait
Donna Donna Donna Donna
Tu regretteras le temps
Donna Donna Donna Donna
O tu tais un enfant
Puis il a grandi, puis il est parti
Et il a dcouvert la vie
Les amours dues, la faim et la peur
Et souvent au fond de son cњur
Il revoyait son enfance
Rvait d’autrefois
Tristement il y pensait
Et il se souvenait
Parfois je pense ce petit garon,
Ce petit garon que j’tais.

Lyrics translation

There was once a little garon
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
He was a man.
Every night he thought about it
When his mom would yell at him
Woman Woman Woman Woman
You'll regret the time
Woman Woman Woman Woman
O you're a child
Then he grew up, then he left
And he covered his life
Love, hunger and fear
And often in the back of his heart
He was going back to his childhood.
Rvait of yesteryear
Sadly he thought about it
And he remembered
Sometimes I think this little garon,
That little garon I'm quiet about.
