Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Petit by Michel Sardou from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
N'écoute pas les grands parler
Don't listen to the grown-ups talking
Va-t'en jouer dans le jardin
Go play in the garden
Il y fait meilleur ce matin
It's better this morning
N'écoute pas ta mère pleurer
Don't listen to your mother cry
Tant pis si elle a du chagrin
Too bad if she is sad
Va-t'en courir dans le jardin
Go run in the garden
Écoute le vent quand il va tomber
Listen to the wind when it falls
Il te dira où il va se coucher
He'll tell you where he's going to sleep
Il te dira pourquoi il se met en colère
He will tell you why he gets angry
Il te dira pourquoi j'ai fait pleurer ta mère
He will tell you why I made your mother cry
Si tu ne comprends pas très bien
If you don't understand very well
Tu reverras le vent demain
You will see the wind again tomorrow
N'écoute pas ton père partir
Don't listen to your father leave
Même si jamais il ne revient
Even if he never comes back
Va-t'en courir dans le jardin
Go run in the garden
Écoute le vent quand il va tomber
Listen to the wind when it falls
Il te dira où il va se coucher
He'll tell you where he's going to sleep
Il te dira pourquoi il se met en colère
He will tell you why he gets angry
Il te dira pourquoi j'ai fait pleurer ta mère
He will tell you why I made your mother cry
Si tu ne comprends pas très bien
If you don't understand very well
Tu reverras le vent demain
You will see the wind again tomorrow
N'écoute pas les grands gémir
Don't listen to the grown-ups moaning
Va-t'en courir dans le jardin
Go run in the garden
Il y fait meilleur ce matin
It's better this morning
Il y fait si beau ce matin
It's so beautiful this morning
