Parler À Mon Père Lyrics in English Céline Dion

Home / Lyrics Translation / Céline Dion / Parler À Mon Père

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Parler À Mon Père by Céline Dion from French to English.

I'd like to forget time

For a sigh, for a moment

A pause after the race

And go where my heart pushes me

I'd like to find my tracks

Where's my life, where's my place

And keep the gold of my past

Warm in my secret garden

Verse 1

I'd like to cross the ocean

Cross a seagull's flight

Think about everything I've seen

Or else head for the unknown

I'd like to take down the moon

I'd even like to save the Earth

But above all

I'd like to talk to my father

Talk to my father

I'd like to choose a boat

Not the biggest or the prettiest

I'd fill it with images

And scents from my travels

I'd like to slow down and sit

Find in the hollow of my memory

Voices of those who taught me

That there's no forbidden dream

I'd like to find the colors

Of the paintings I hold in my heart

Of that scenery with pure lines

Where I see you and feel reassured

I'd like to take down the moon

I'd even like to save the Earth

But above all

I'd like to talk to my father

Talk to my father

Chorus 1

I'd like to forget time

For a sigh, for a moment

A pause after the race

And go where my heart pushes me

I'd like to find my tracks

Where's my life, where's my place

And keep the gold of my past

Warm in my secret garden

Verse 2

I'd like to leave with you

I'd like to dream with you

Always chase the unreachable

Always hope for the impossible

I'd like to take down the moon

And why not save the Earth

But above all

I'd like to talk to my father

Talk to my father

I'd like to talk to my father

Talk to my father

SONG MEANING

Imagine you could press pause on life, slip past oceans and moonlight, and land in a quiet garden filled with childhood memories. That is the journey Céline Dion invites us on in “Parler À Mon Père.” Throughout the lyrics she dreams big—sailing away, saving the planet, even grabbing the moon—yet every dazzling wish circles back to one simple longing: a conversation with her father. The song blends wanderlust and nostalgia, showing that no matter how vast our adventures become, the deepest comfort often lies in reconnecting with the people who first taught us to dream.

Why is this powerful? Because it speaks to anyone who has ever chased the “impossible” only to discover that love and guidance are the true treasures. Céline’s soaring vocals turn these reflections into an anthem of hope: keep exploring, keep imagining, but remember the roots that ground your heart. Listen closely and you will hear both a travel diary and a love letter, reminding us that the most important destination may simply be a loved one’s listening ear.
