De cantines en écoles elle m'a traîné
From canteens to schools she dragged me
De fièvres en rougeoles elle m'a veillé
From fevers to measles she watched over me
C'est sur les plages douces de son corps
It's on the soft beaches of her body
Que je suis né sans trop d'effort
That I was born without much effort
Et dès les premiers mots
And from the first words
Elle m'a donné ma langue maternelle
She gave me my mother tongue
Avec un peu d'accent tombé du ciel
With a little accent that fell from the sky
Puis les ans sont passés à notre insu
Then the years passed without our knowledge
Quand je la vois trotte menu
When I see her trotting
Une voix me dit
A voice tells me
Embrasse-la
Kiss her
Chante-la
Sing it
Protège-la
Protect her
Elle a les yeux et le cœur lilas
She has lilac eyes and a lilac heart
Embrasse-la
Kiss her
Chante-la
Sing it
Protège-la
Protect her
Elle a les cheveux en hiver déjà
She already has winter hair
Bien sûr je suis parti vers les quinze ans
Of course I left around fifteen
Je la revois d'ici pauvre maman
I see her again from here, poor mother
Quand je suis revenu elle n'a rien dit
When I came back she didn't say anything
Elle avait juste un peu vieilli
She had just aged a little
Et j'ai compris
And I understood
Embrasse-la
Kiss her
Chante-la
Sing it
Protège-la
Protect her
Elle a les yeux et le cœur lilas
She has lilac eyes and a lilac heart
Embrasse-la
Kiss her
Chante-la
Sing it
Protège-la
Protect her
Elle a les cheveux en hiver déjà
She already has winter hair
Et quand je vais la voir chaque semaine
And when I go to see her every week
Qu'elle lit dans mon regard ma vie mes peines
That she reads in my eyes my life my sorrows
Elle se fait d'un dîner une tendre fête
She makes a dinner a tender celebration
Mais en pensant demain peut-être
But thinking about tomorrow maybe
Je partirai
I leave
Embrasse-la
Kiss her
Chante-la
Sing it
Protège-la
Protect her
Elle a les yeux et le cœur lilas
She has lilac eyes and a lilac heart
Embrasse-la
Kiss her
Chante-la
Sing it
Protège-la
Protect her
Elle a les cheveux en hiver déjà
She already has winter hair
Embrasse-la
Kiss her
Chante-la
Sing it
Protège-la
Protect her
Elle a les yeux et le cœur lilas
She has lilac eyes and a lilac heart
Embrasse-la
Kiss her
Chante-la
Sing it
Protège-la
Protect her
Elle a les cheveux en hiver déjà
She already has winter hair
