Quand on court après l'espoir
When you run after hope
On peut toujours aller voir
We can always go and see
Dans un autre port
In another port
Comment se lève l'aurore
How the dawn rises
Vers lequel faut-il partir
Where do you have to go
J'ai déjà entendu dire
I've heard
Là-haut, vers le nord
Up north, north
Il paraît qu'on rêve encore
It seems that we are still dreaming
Quand on reste enfant dans l'âme
When you're a child at heart
Un jour on part pour amsterdam
One day we leave for amsterdam
Pour le marché aux fleurs, marché aux coeurs
For the flower market, heart market
Marché aux idées qui s'en vont en fumée
Market for ideas that go up in smoke
Pauvre pierrot, tu n'as plus de lune
Poor pierrot, you have no moon
Et plus de feu dans ta cheminée
And no more fire in your chimney
Pauvre pierrot, tu n'as plus de plume
Poor pierrot, you have no pen
Plus de héros pour te faire chanter
No more heroes to blackmail you
Quand on court après l'amour
When you run after love
Des chansons de troubadours
Songs of troubadours
Chevaliers servants
Knights servants
De la belle au bois dormant
From Beauty to Sleeping Wood
Quand on est peut-être fou
When you might be crazy
Et qu'on ne trouve rien du tout
And that we can't find anything at all
Que les amours d'un soir, c'est triste à voir
That one-night stands are sad to see
Un prince charmant si loin de son roman
A Prince Charming so far from his novel
Pauvre pierrot, tu n'as plus de lune
Poor pierrot, you have no moon
Et plus de feu dans ta cheminée
And no more fire in your chimney
Pauvre pierrot, tu n'as plus de plume
Poor pierrot, you have no pen
Plus de héros pour te faire chanter
No more heroes to blackmail you
On se donne tant de mal
We're trying so hard
Pour grimper dans les étoiles
To climb the stars
Qu'on a oublié
That we've forgotten
La terre qui colle à nos pieds
The earth that sticks to our feet
Je serai bientôt content
I'll be happy soon
D'avoir de l'eau dans mon étang
To have water in my pond
Un oiseau dans ma cour au petit jour
A bird in my yard in the early morning
Ou une colombe pour pleurer sur ma tombe
Or a dove to cry on my grave
Pauvre pierrot, tu n'as plus de lune
Poor pierrot, you have no moon
Et plus de feu dans ta cheminée
And no more fire in your chimney
Pauvre pierrot, tu n'as plus de plume
Poor pierrot, you have no pen
Plus de héros pour te faire chanter
No more heroes to blackmail you
