Comme un enfant
Like a child
Que l'on prend par la main
Whom you take by the hand
Et qui soudain comprends
And who suddenly understands
Que son histoire est loin
That their story is far away
Qu'il ne sentira plus
That they will no longer feel
La chaleur de ses mains
The warmth of their hands
Se cache dans des jeux incertains
Hides in uncertain games
Comme un regard
Like a gaze
Dans lequel on retrouve
In which you find
La douceur des siens
The sweetness of your own
Un ami qui vous ouvre son coeur
A friend who opens their heart to you
Pour sourire à la vie
To smile at life
Et jouer à des jeux interdits
And play forbidden games
Joue mon enfant
Play, my child
Comme le ferait le vent
Like the wind would
Sur tes cheveux défaits
On your untidy hair
Grandir prendra du temps
Growing up will take time
Mettre en terre la vie
Planting life in the ground
Reste un jeu pour les grands
Remains a game for adults
Et toi, Michel, tu n'es qu'un enfant
And you, Michel, are just a child
Cours ma douceur
Run, my dear
Crie pour tes jours de pluie
Shout for your rainy days
La guerre a ses horreurs
War has its horrors
Que personne n'oublie
That no one forgets
Les bercer dans son cœur
To rock them in your heart
C'est un jeu qu'on maudit
Is a game cursed
Rêve, oublie, ces jeux interdits
Dream, forget, these forbidden games
Comme une vie
Like a life
Qui reprend son chemin
That takes its course again
Comme un souffle un repère
Like a breath, a landmark
Qu'on croyait incertain
We thought was uncertain
L'innocence perdue un beau jour
Innocence lost one fine day
Nous revient comme la mélancolie
Returns to us like the melancholy
De nos jeux interdits
Of our forbidden games
