Quand L'enfant Viendra Lyrics in English Pierre Bachelet
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Quand L'enfant Viendra by Pierre Bachelet from French to English.
Moi, je ferai le tour de mon quartier pour annoncer son arrivée
I'll go all around my neighborhood to announce his arrival
Mon enfant est né, mon enfant est là
My child is born, my child is here
Et je brûlerai la nuit une dernière fois et les amis des jours d'éclat
And I'll burn through the night one last time and the friends from our brightest days
Boiront à tomber quand l'enfant viendra
They'll drink till they drop when the child comes
Mais j'irai dire aux hommes du monde entier
But I'll go tell people all over the world
Laissez-le grandir en liberté
Let him grow up free
Laissez-le courir à nos genoux
Let him run around our knees
Laissez-le partir au bout de nous
Let him go beyond us
Que jamais la guerre ne touche à lui
May war never touch him
La drogue et le fer la peur aussi
No drugs, no iron, no fear either
Quand l'enfant viendra poser sa vie
When the child comes to set down his life
Dans ce lit de bois que j'ai fait pour lui
In this wooden bed I built for him
Et devant ce bonhomme de rien du tout
And in front of this tiny little guy
Serrant ses poings contre ses joues
Clenching his fists against his cheeks
Je dirai 'Merci!' à ma femme aussi
I'll say 'Thanks!' to my wife too
Mais tous les chants d'amour toutes les chansons
But every love song, every tune
Chanteront toujours à l'unisson
will always sing in unison
Laissez-le grandir en liberté
Let him grow up free
Laissez-le choisir sa vérité
Let him choose his truth
Laissez-le grandir en liberté
Let him grow up free
Laissez-le choisir sa vérité
Let him choose his truth
Que jamais la guerre ne touche à lui
May war never touch him
La drogue et le fer la peur aussi
No drugs, no iron, no fear either
Quand l'enfant viendra poser sa vie
When the child comes to set down his life
Dans ce monde-là qui n'est pas fini
In this world that's not finished yet
Tous les chants d'amour toutes les chansons
All the love songs, all the tunes
Chanteront toujours à l'unisson
will always sing in unison
Laissez-le grandir en liberté
Let him grow up free
Laissez-le choisir sa vérité
Let him choose his truth
Tous les chants d'amour toutes les chansons
All the love songs, all the tunes
Chanteront toujours à l'unisson
will always sing in unison
Laissez-le grandir en liberté
Let him grow up free
