These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Je suis né avec des yeux d'ange
I was born with angel eyes
Et des fossettes au creux des joues
And dimples in the hollow of the cheeks
J'ai perdu mes joues et mes langes
I lost my cheeks and my diapers
Et j'ai cassé tous mes joujoux
And I broke all my toys
Je m'suis regardé dans un' glace
I looked at myself in a mirror
Et j'ai vu que j'avais revé
And I saw that I had dreamed
Je m'suis dit faudra bien qu'j'm'y fasse
I told myself I'll have to get used to it
Tout finira par arriver
Everything will happen eventually
Et je m'en vais clopin-clopant
And I'm hobbling away
Dans le soleil et dans le vent
In the sun and in the wind
De temps en temps le coeur chancelle
From time to time the heart wavers
Y a des souv'nirs qui s'amoncellent
There are memories piling up
Et je m'en vais clopin-clopant
And I'm hobbling away
En promenant mon coeur d'enfant
Walking my childish heart
Comme s'envole une hirondelle
Like a swallow flies away
La vie s'enfuit à tire-d'aile
Life flies away
Ca fait si mal au coeur d'enfant
It hurts a child's heart so much
Qui s'en va seul, clopin-clopant
Who goes away alone, hobbling
Tout l'amour que l'on a vu naitre
All the love that we saw born
Tes lèvres douces, parfum de miel
Your soft lips, scent of honey
Nos deux fronts contre la fenetre
Our two foreheads against the window
Nos regards perdus dans le ciel
Our gazes lost in the sky
Le train noir hurlant dans la gare
The black train screaming in the station
Le monstrueux désert des rues
The monstrous desert of the streets
Tes mots d'adieu, tes mots bizarres
Your farewell words, your strange words
Depuis dix mois, tu n'écris plus
For ten months, you haven't written anymore
Et je m'en vais clopin-clopant
And I'm hobbling away
Dans le soleil et dans le vent
In the sun and in the wind
De temps en temps le coeur chancelle
From time to time the heart wavers
Y a des souv'nirs qui s'amoncellent
There are memories piling up
Et je m'en vais clopin-clopant
And I'm hobbling away
En promenant mon coeur d'enfant
Walking my childish heart
Comme s'envole une hirondelle
Like a swallow flies away
La vie s'enfuit à tire-d'aile
Life flies away
Ca fait si mal au coeur d'enfant
It hurts a child's heart so much
Qui s'en va seul, clopin-clopant
Who goes away alone, hobbling
