On perd ses souliers, ses cheveux, ses dents
We lose our shoes, our hair, our teeth
Mais on ne perd jamais son âme d'enfant
But we never lose our childlike soul
On perd dignité, espoir en passant
We lose dignity, hope along the way
On perd tout ce qu'on est, sauf son âme d'enfant
We lose everything we are, except our childlike soul
On perd face au pied, panache, flamboyant
We lose face, flair, flamboyance
À chaque jours brisé, on perd de son temps
With each broken day, we lose some of our time
On perd toutes ses plumes, une à une, doucement
We lose all our feathers, one by one, gently
La vie les arrache à notre âme d'enfant
Life tears them from our childlike soul
Car cette âme-là dessine nos douleurs
For that soul sketches our pains
Se moque de nos lois, de nos mille frayeurs
Mocks our laws, our thousand fears
Car cette âme-là, c'est ça le bonheur
For that soul, that's what happiness is
C'est là qu'est la joie, c'est là qu'est l'erreur
That's where joy is, that's where the mistake is
On perd de nos rêves, désespoirs brûlants
We lose our dreams, burning despairs
On s'offre sans trêve, prince ou bien mendiants
We give ourselves relentlessly, prince or beggar
On perd l'inutile, l'essentiel pourtant
We lose the useless, yet the essential
Mais on ne perd jamais son âme d'enfant
But we never lose our childlike soul
On perd les pédales, on tombe tout doucement
We lose the pedals, we fall very gently
De nos vies cruelles, on meurt en tremblant
From our cruel lives, we die trembling
En perd le nord, le sud, Mistral au bon an
We lose the north, the south, the Mistral at its best
Mais on perd jamais son âme d'enfant
But we never lose our childlike soul
Car cette âme-là dessine nos douleurs
For that soul sketches our pains
Se moque de nos lois, de nos mille frayeurs
Mocks our laws, our thousand fears
Car cette âme-là, c'est ça le bonheur
For that soul, that's what happiness is
C'est là qu'est la joie, c'est là qu'est l'erreur
That's where joy is, that's where the mistake is
On perd comme on gagne, peu importe vraiment
We lose as we win, it really doesn't matter
On ne peut rien attendre, la vie, ce tourment
We can expect nothing, life, this torment
On perd tout ce qui tremble, tout ce qui respire
We lose everything that trembles, everything that breathes
Sauf notre âme d'enfant qui résiste au pire, au pire
Except our childlike soul which withstands the worst, the worst
