Le Portrait Lyrics in English Calogero

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le Portrait by Calogero from French to English.
He mixes at the bottom of his cup
Of honey
He looks through the skylight
The sky
Every time a plane passes
He thinks maybe it's her
Who passes over his house
She was told she was in heaven
He dreams lying on a parquet floor
In his mother's arms
Drawn in chalk
Every night in secret
This drawing he does
Feature by feature
From a portrait
He dreams lying on a parquet floor
In his mother's arms
Drawn in chalk
Every night in secret
This drawing he does
Feature by feature
From a portrait
Lost at the back of his class
He gets tangled
He struggles with the tough
Plural
Then he explains to his mistress
Why 'parent' doesn't take an 's'
He wants cuddles so much
Even if it's just one a year
He dreams lying on a parquet floor
In his mother's arms
Drawn in chalk
Every night in secret
This drawing he does
Feature by feature
From a portrait
He dreams lying on a parquet floor
In his mother's arms
Drawn in chalk
Every night in secret
This drawing he does
Feature by feature
From a portrait
He dreams lying on a parquet floor
In his mother's arms
Drawn in chalk
Every night in secret
This drawing he does
Feature by feature
From a portrait
Feature by feature
From a portrait
