Lyrics

1 — Un jour se lèvera
Sur trois branches de lilas
Qu’un enfant regardera
Comme un livre d’images
Le monde autour de lui
Sera vide et c’est ainsi
Qu’il inventera la vie
A sa première pa-a-ge.
2 — En dessinant la forme d’une orange
Il donnera au ciel son premier soleil
En dessinant l’oiseau
Il inventera la fleur
En cherchant le bruit de l’eau
Il entendra le cri du c ur.
3 — En dessinant les branches d’une étoile
Il trouvera l’enfant, le chemin des grands
Des grands qui ont gardé
Un regard émerveillé
Pour les fruits de chaque jour
Et pour les roses de l’amour.

Lyrics translation

1 - one day will rise
On three branches of lilac
That a child will look
Like a picture book
The world around him
Will be empty and so it is
That he will invent life
To his first pa-A-ge.
2-drawing the shape of an orange
He will give the sky its first Sun
Drawing the bird
He will invent the flower
Looking for the sound of water
He will hear the cry of the heart.
3-drawing the branches of a star
He will find the child, the way of the great
Great ones who kept
An astonished look
For the fruits of every day
And for the roses of love.
