J'ai voulu être une étoile
I wanted to be a star
Briller sur tout l'univers
Shine on the whole universe
J'ai voulu être un oiseau

Frôler le soleil et l'eau
Rubbing the sun and the water
J'ai voulu être un nuage
I wanted to be a cloud
Léger, rose et transparent
Light, pink and transparent
On n'a pas notion des choses
We have no idea of things
Quand on est enfant
When we are children
J'ai voulu porter la terre
I wanted to carry the earth
Sur mes épaules fragiles
On my fragile shoulders
J'ai voulu plier le fer
I wanted to bend the iron
Des monstres géants de la ville
Giant city monsters
Au diable que je me repose
To hell with me resting
Au diable attendre d'être grand
To hell with waiting to be big
On n'a pas notion des choses
We have no idea of things
Quand on est enfant
When we are children
