Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Le grand-père by Slimane from French to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Des rêves plein la tête
Dreams full of head
Des étoiles dans les yeux
Stars in the eyes
Comme un jour de fête
Like a day of celebration
Tout le monde est heureux
Everyone is happy
Il dit au revoir au pays
He says goodbye to the country
Sans se retourner jamais jamais
Without ever turning around
En laissant derrière lui
Leaving behind him
Celle qu'il aimait
The one he loved
Il a pris la mer
He went to sea
Pour se donner le droit de rêver
To give yourself the right to dream
Il a pris la mer
He went to sea
En laissant tout ce qu'il avait
Leaving everything he had
Il est arrivé là
He got there
Avec l'envie de réussir
With the desire to succeed
D'envoyer à la mama
Send to the mama
Du bonheur, des sourires
Happiness, smiles
Et si finalement c'est plus dur
And if finally it's harder
De vivre loin des siens
To live away from his family
Jamais jamais je vous le jure
I never swore to you
Il ne s'est plaint
He did not complain
Il a pris la mer
He went to sea
Pour se donner le droit de rêver
To give yourself the right to dream
Il a pris la mer
He went to sea
En laissant tout ce qu'il avait
Leaving everything he had
Il avait des rêves plein la tête
He had dreams in his head
Il avait des rêves plein la tête
He had dreams in his head
Il avait des rêves plein la tête
He had dreams in his head
