These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Vois cet oiseau blanc, prisonnier du ciel
See this white bird, prisoner of the sky
Dans sa grande cage étoilée
In its large starry cage
Moi, de temps en temps je me sens pareil
I feel the same every now and then
À cet éternel exilé
To this eternal exile
Lui, qui ne sait pas replier ses ailes
He, who doesn't know how to fold his wings
Moi, qui ne sais pas m'arrêter
Me, who can't stop me
Vois cet oiseau blanc, prisonnier du ciel
See this white bird, prisoner of the sky
Dans sa grande cage étoilée
In its large starry cage
Moi, de temps en temps je me sens pareil
I feel the same every now and then
À ce voyageur fatigué
To this tired traveller
Toi, de tout en bas parfois tu l'appelles
You, from the very bottom sometimes you call it
Lui, il voudrait bien se poser
He'd like to land
Mais il ne peut pas replier ses ailes
But he can't fold his wings
Et toi, tu ne peux pas t'envoler
And you can't fly away
