Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Les Marchands De Rêves by Corneille from French to English.

Tell them heaven hears them

Tell them luck's waiting for them

So they can dream again

Tell them they've done nothing to time

Tell it to kids and grown-ups alike

So they can dream harder

If you come down

Tell them we're not ready yet

But we think about it nonstop

And if we come back it won't be

With empty hands or heads

Tell them winter teaches us

That it gets the better of us from time to time

And we won't hold out much longer

Tell them we're coming

Tell them so many others are following us

Tell them we're only a few steps away

And that we're thousands strong

With or without papers

Dream peddlers

Tell them they're entitled to happiness

And that one day they'll be the best

So they stay dignified

And tell them tomorrow is theirs

That they bid misery farewell

In spite of the signs

If you come down

Salute the courage of our women

Salute the greatness of their souls

And you'll tell our mothers we're coming

To chase away their sorrow

You'll tell our fathers we're waiting

For them to finally raise their big white flag

Which they should've done a long time ago

Tell them we're coming

Tell them so many others are following us

Tell them we're only a few steps away

And that we're thousands strong

With or without papers

Dream peddlers

Outro

If we've left

It's to come back as winners

If we've left

It's to come back bigger

Tell them winter teaches us

And that by living we end up understanding

That we might not hold on much longer

Tell them we're coming

Tell them so many others are following us

Tell them we're only a few steps away

And that we're thousands strong

With or without papers

Dream peddlers

Tell them we're coming

Tell them so many others are following us

Tell them we're only a few steps away

And that we're thousands strong

With or without papers

Dream peddlers

SONG MEANING

Corneille’s "Les Marchands De Rêves" is a vibrant shout-out to all the travelers and migrants who left home chasing opportunity. The singer sends a celestial messenger back to their loved ones with a simple promise: hang on, keep dreaming, we’re almost home. He reassures children and elders alike that the sky hears their prayers, luck is waiting around the corner, and winter’s hardships only make spring feel sweeter.

The track salutes fearless mothers, dignified fathers, and the throngs of companions marching side by side (with or without papers). Together they become “merchants of dreams,” returning not empty-handed but overflowing with hope, pride, and victories to share. It’s an uplifting anthem that turns struggle into fuel, proving that distance can’t dull determination and that tomorrow truly belongs to the dreamers.
