Lyrics

Je soufflerai tes berceuses
J'éloignerai tes colères
Les étoiles seront des danseuses,
La nuit, sur tes paupières,
Te sera si précieuse
Oh ! je n'éteindrai la lumière
Que si je te sais heureuse
Je voudrais tellement
Te voir grandir maintenant
Je voudrais tellement
Te donner la force du vent
Je voudrais pour toi
Revenir de tous mes combats
Et que soit fière de moi
La femme que tu deviendras
Tu as tant de choses à m’apprendre
Tant de couleurs à m’offrir
Alors, moi, je voudrais tout prendre
Sans jamais te trahir
Et sans te faire attendre
Je n’ai pas toujours su comprendre
Je n’ai pas toujours su le dire
Je voudrais tellement
Je voudrais tellement
Avoir ton courage, mon enfant,
Je voudrais tellement
Que tu me montres ce qui est grand
Je voudrais déjà
Que tu me tiennes par le bras
Et qu’elle soit belle comme toi
L’histoire qui t’emmènera
Je voudrais tellement
Etre là
(Merci à Lérin pour cettes paroles)

Lyrics translation

I'll blow your lullabies
I'll keep your anger away
The stars will be dancers,
At night, on your eyelids,
Will be so precious to you
Oh ! I will not turn off the light
Only if I know you're happy
I would like so much
See you grow up now
I would like so much
Give you the strength of the wind
I wish for you
Come back from all my fights
And be proud of me
The woman you'll become
You have so much to teach me
So many colors to offer me
So, I'd like to take everything
Without ever betraying you
And without keeping you waiting
I didn't always understand
I didn't always know how to say it.
I would like so much
I would like so much
Have your courage, my child,
I would like so much
That you show me what's great
I would like already
That you hold me by the arm
And May she be beautiful like you
The story that will take you
I would like so much
Being there
(Thanks to Lérin for these words)
