Lyrics
Il aurait treize ans aujourd’hui
Je l’aurais appelé David
J’aurai voulu qu’il fasse du bruit
Au milieu de cette maison vide
au milieu de cette maison vide
Est ce qu’il aurait eu mes yeux noirs?
Ou la forme de ton visage?
Est ce qu’il aurait voulu savoir
Comment nous étions à son âge?
Comment nous étions à son âge.
L’enfant, l’enfant que je n’ai jamais eu Celui que tu n’as pas voulu
L’enfant que je n’ai pas gardé
Celui qui tu n’as pas aimé
L’enfant, l’enfant, un enfant!
O mon enfant.
Il serait comme tous les garçons
Un peu absent mais toujours là
Il serait du signe de lion
Avec des sentiments de chat
Avec des sentiments de chat…
Je l’entendrais rentrer la nuit
Comme je t’attendais autrefois
Il serait mon fils, mon ami
Si je l’avais choisi sans toi
Si je l’avais choisi sans toi…
L’enfant, l’enfant que je n’ai jamais eu Celui que tu n’as pas voulu
L’enfant que je n’ai pas gardé
Celui que tu n’as pas aimé
L’enfant, l’enfant, un enfant!
O mon enfant.
Il aurait treize ans aujourd’hui
Je l’aurais appelé David
J’aurai voulu qu’il fasse du bruit
Au milieu de cette maison vide
Je l’aurais aimé comme toi
Et j’aurais adoré ce rôle
Il serait venu quelquefois
Poser sa tête sur mon épaule
Poser sa tête sur mon épaule…
L’enfant, l’enfant, un enfant!
O mon enfant, ô mon enfant, mon enfant.
Lyrics translation
He would be thirteen today
I would have called him David.
I wish he made a noise.
In the middle of this empty house
in the middle of this empty house
Would he have had my black eyes?
Or The Shape of your face?
Is what he would have wanted to know
How were we at her age?
How we were at his age.
The child, the child I never had the one you didn't want
The child I did not keep
The one you didn't like
The child, the child, a child!
O my child.
He would be like all boys
A little absent but still there
It would be of the sign of lion
With cat feelings
With cat feelings…
I'd hear him come home at night
Just like I was waiting for you.
He would be my son, my friend
If I had chosen it without you
If I had chosen it without you…
The child, the child I never had the one you didn't want
The child I did not keep
The one you didn't like
The child, the child, a child!
O my child.
He would be thirteen today
I would have called him David.
I wish he made a noise.
In the middle of this empty house
I would have loved him like you
And I would have loved that role
He would have come sometimes
Lay his head on my shoulder
Lay his head on my shoulder…
The child, the child, a child!
O My Child, O my child, my child.
