Les pieds dans le ruisseau
Feet in the creek
Moi, je regarde couler la vie
I watch life sink
Les pieds dans le ruisseau
Feet in the creek
Moi, je regarde sans dire un mot
I look without saying a word
Les gentils poissons
The nice fish
Me content leur vie
Happy with their lives
En faisant des ronds
By making rounds
Sur l'onde jolie
On pretty wave
Et moi, je réponds
And I answer
En gravant dans l'eau
By engraving in water
Des mots, jolis mots
Words, pretty words
Mots de ma façon
Words my way
Au fil du courant
As the current runs
S'efface une lettre
Clears a letter
Lettre d'un amant
Letter from a lover
Disparu peut-être
Gone maybe
Que je voudrais
That I would like
Trouver près de moi
Find near me
Une fille dont j' pourrais
A girl I could
Caresser les doigts
Caressing your fingers
Et quand le crapaud
And when the toad
Berce au crépuscule
Berce at dusk
Parmi les roseaux
Among the reeds
Dame libellule
Dragonfly Lady
Penchant mon visage
Leaning my face
Au-dessus de l'eau
Above the water
Je vois mon image
I see my image
Moi, je vois l'idiot
I see the idiot
