On construit parfois comme les enfants
Sometimes we build like children
Un château de sable et de vent
A castle of sand and wind
Un château de sable qu'on bâtit pour l'éternité
A sandcastle that is built for eternity
Mais les tous premiers flots vont l'emporter
But the very first waves will prevail
J'avais fait pour toi près de l'océan
I made it for you by the ocean
Un amour de sable et de vent
A love of sand and wind
Et pour cet amour
And for that love
Pour toi la princesse du grand château
For you the princess of the great castle
Rien n'était assez fou, ni assez beau
Nothing was crazy enough, nor beautiful enough
Mais les vagues montent et l'enfant qui revient
But the waves rise and the child who returns
Ne retrouve que le sable
Only finds the sand
Des donjons, des tours, le lendemain matin
Dungeons, towers, the next morning
Il ne reste plus rien
There's nothing left
On construit parfois comme les enfants
Sometimes we build like children
Un château de sable si grand
A sandcastle so big
Et si vaste qu'on a l'impression de s'y promener
And so vast that you feel like you're walking around
Qu'il contiendrait la méditerranée
That it would contain the Mediterranean
J'avais fait pour toi près de l'océan
I made it for you by the ocean
Un amour de sable si grand
A love of sand so great
Qu'il était parti pour durer la vie
That he was gone to last his life
Il a tenu l'espace de la nuit
It held the space of the night
Mais les vagues montent et l'enfant qui revient
But the waves rise and the child who returns
Ne retrouve que du sable
Finds only sand
Des donjons, des tours, le lendemain matin
Dungeons, towers, the next morning
Il ne reste plus rien
There's nothing left
