Lyrics

Tu l’auras, ton bateau blanc
C’est le bateau de ceux qui restent des enfants
Le bateau de tes quinze ans
Te sauvera de ce monde arrangé par les grands
Tu l’auras, ton bateau blanc
Mais pour l’avoir, tu auras mis le temps
Il est là, ton bateau blanc
Moi, je le vois quitter le port, prendre le vent
T’emporter tout droit devant
L'île au trésor est là-bas tout au bout qui t’attend
C'était vrai ton bateau blanc
Même si tu n’y croyais pas vraiment
Le voilà, ton bateau blanc
Il va partir dans le soleil et dans le vent
Comme au temps de tes quinze ans
Quand il dansait sur le bord de tes rêves d’enfant
Il s’en va vers le beau temps
Emmène-moi, emmène-moi dedans !

Lyrics translation

You'll get it, your white boat
It is the boat of those who remain children
The boat of your fifteen years
Will save you from this world arranged by the great
You'll get it, your white boat
But to get it, you'll have taken the time
There's your white boat.
I see him leave the harbor, take the wind
Take you straight ahead
Treasure Island is there at the very end waiting for you
It was true your white boat
Even if you didn't really believe it
Here he is, your white boat.
He will leave in the sun and in the wind
As in the time of your fifteen years
When he danced on the edge of your childhood dreams
He's headed for the good weather.
Take me, take me in !
