A l'abri des fenêtres et des parapets de pierre
Sheltered from windows and stone parapets
Je regarde vivre les gens d'en bas
I watch people live from below
Chaque jour j'envie leur vie, moi qui vis solitaire
Every day I envy their lives, I live alone
Mais leur histoire je ne la connais pas
But their story I don't know
J'apprends leurs chansons, leurs rires, leur visage
I learn their songs, their laughter, their faces
Moi je les vois mais eux ne me voient pas
I see them but they don't see me
Je voudrais tout à tour rencontrer ces personnages
I would like to meet these characters in turn
Rien qu'un seul jour, aux pieds des tours
Just one day, at the foot of the towers
Tout en bas, vivre au grand soleil
Downstairs, live in the great sun
Sans regarder le ciel
Without looking at the sky
Une seule fois
Only once
Partager leurs joies
Share their joys
Je crois, qu'ils n'entendent pas
I think they don't hear
La voix de mon coeur, qui se meurt
The voice of my heart, which is dying
Quand je vois les gens d'en bas
When I see people from below
En bas, j'entends les tisserands, les meuniers et leur femme
Downstairs, I hear the weavers, millers and their wives
Leur bonheur insouciant me brûle et m'enflamme
Their carefree happiness burns me and inflames me
Leurs cris qui résonnent jusqu'au coeur de notre-dame
Their cries that resonate to the heart of our lady
Font saigner les larmes au coeur de mon âme!
Make tears bleed into the heart of my soul!
Si j'avais cette vie
If I had this life
Je vivrai à la folie!
I'll live in madness!
En bas, sur les bords de seine
Downstairs, on the edges of the seine
Je goûterai la joie, des gens qui se promènent
I'll taste the joy of people walking around
Si pour un jour, un seul jour
If for a day, only one day
Je quittai ma tour
I left my turn
Ce serait merveilleux
That would be wonderful
D'être heureux
To be happy
A mon tour, faire un tour
It's my turn to go for a walk
Alentour de ma tour
Around my tower
Rien qu'un jour, un jour en bas
Just one day, one day down
