J'ai pas toujours trouvé les mots
I haven't always found the words
Pour bercer tes rêves d'enfant
To lull your childhood dreams
Ensemble on est devenu grand
Together we grew up
De bons points en double zéro
From good grades to double zeros
Paralysés par tant d'amour
Paralyzed by so much love
On s'apprivoise au jour le jour
We get used to each other day by day
J'ai jamais su trouver les gestes
I never knew how to find the gestures
Qui pouvaient soigner tes blessures
That could heal your wounds
Guider tes pas vers le futur
Guide your steps towards the future
À tous les signaux de détresse
To all the distress signals
Dis, comment j'aurais pu faire face
Tell me, how could I have coped
Pris entre le feu et la glace?
Caught between fire and ice?
Au-delà de nos différences
Beyond our differences
Des coups de gueule, des coups de sang
Outbursts, fits of temper
À force d'échanger nos silences
By dint of exchanging our silences
Maintenant qu'on est face à face
Now that we're face to face
On se ressemble sang pour sang
We're alike through and through
Comme si les battements de nos cœurs
As if the beats of our hearts
Étaient sur la même longueur d'ondes
Were on the same wavelength
Les lignes de nos mains se confondent
The lines of our hands merge
Tu me renvoies comme un miroir
You reflect back to me like a mirror
Mes doutes et mes éclats de rires
My doubts and my bursts of laughter
La promesse d'un autre avenir
The promise of another future
Peu importe si la vie menace
It doesn't matter if life threatens
Ce qui reste en nous d'innocent
What remains innocent in us
Puisqu'on se comprend à présent
Since we understand each other now
Peu à peu la douleur s'efface
Little by little the pain fades away
On n'en garde plus qu'une trace
We only keep a trace of it
Comme une offense au temps qui passe
Like an insult to passing time
Au-delà de nos différences
Beyond our differences
Des coups de gueule des coups de sang
Outbursts, fits of temper
À force d'échanger nos silences
By dint of exchanging our silences
Maintenant qu'on est face à face
Now that we're face to face
On se ressemble sang pour sang
We're alike through and through
Au-delà de nos différences
Beyond our differences
À force d'échanger nos silences
By dint of exchanging our silences
Maintenant qu'on est face à face
Now that we're face to face
On se ressemble sang pour sang
We're alike through and through
Tous les deux sang pour sang
Both of us through and through
Oui, tous les deux sang pour sang
Yes, both of us through and through
Tous les deux sang pour sang
Both of us through and through
Tous les deux
Both of us

Did you like this lyrics translation?
s'apprivoise — to tame each other / to get used to each other
S'apprivoiser is a reflexive verb meaning 'to tame oneself' or, in a relational context, 'to get used to each other' or 'to grow accustomed to each other'. It evokes the idea of two entities learning to coexist and understand one another, much like in Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's The Little Prince.
In "Sang pour sang," the lyric "On s'apprivoise au jour le jour" (We tame each other day by day) beautifully captures the evolving, sometimes challenging, but ultimately deepening relationship between a father and son. It suggests a gradual process of mutual understanding and acceptance, moving beyond initial differences to forge a strong bond.
