Lyrics
Toi qui nais dans ce monde insensé
Qu’il te faut pourtant bien accepter
On t’impose aujourd’hui
Les parents, des amis
Leur liberté est une prison à vie
Quand plus tard tu voudras enfin leur échapper
A tout prix ils voudront te garder
Et tu pleureras
Tu pleureras
Tu pleureras
Petite fille
Petite fille
A l'école tu t’apercevras
Que leurs grands mots ne te concernent pas
Les mensonges qu’ils ont voulu t’imposer
Eux-mêmes les ont depuis longtemps reniés
Leurs belles phrases toutes faites te feront pitié
Tu chercheras la réalité
Et tu pleureras
Tu pleureras
Tu pleureras
Petite fille
Petite fille
Quant à l’amour tu le rencontreras
Mais à ta porte un jour on frappera
Pour t’annoncer la mort de ton bien-aimé
La guerre te l’a pris, la guerre te l’a tué
Tu maudiras le Dieu qui vous avait bénis
Tu maudiras l’amour et la vie
Et tu pleureras
Tu pleureras
Tu pleureras
Petite fille
Petite fille
Oh tu pleureras…
Tu pleureras…
Lyrics translation
You who are born in this senseless world
That you have to accept it well
You are imposed today
Relatives, friends
Their freedom is a lifetime prison
When later you finally want to escape them
At all costs they will want to keep you
And you'll cry
You'll cry
You'll cry
Little girl
Little girl
At school you'll notice
Let their big words not concern you
The lies they wanted to impose on you
They themselves have long denied them
Their beautiful ready-made phrases will make you feel sorry
You will seek reality
And you'll cry
You'll cry
You'll cry
Little girl
Little girl
As for love you will meet him
But at your door one day we'll knock
To announce the death of your beloved
War took it from you, War killed it from you
You will curse the God who blessed you
You will curse love and life
And you'll cry
You'll cry
You'll cry
Little girl
Little girl
Oh you'll cry…
You'll cry…
