Mon Père Lyrics in English Sylvie Vartan
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mon Père by Sylvie Vartan from French to English.
Que la maison me parait vide, sans son désordre et sans sa voix
How empty the house feels without his mess and his voice
Ça me semble encore impossible pourtant il y a deux ans déjà
It still seems unreal though it's been two years already
Ma mère a rangé tous ses livres et ses outils de jardinier
Mom put away all his books and his gardening tools
Tous ces objets qu'il faisait vivre qui eux aussi vont s'ennuyer
All those things he brought to life are going to get bored too
Il ne parlait pas de la guerre, pourtant mon héros c'était lui
He never talked about the war, yet he was my hero
J'étais si fière qu'il soit mon père, fière de m'appeler comme lui
I was so proud he was my dad, proud to share his name
Ses colères étaient des tempêtes lorsque j'avais désobéi
His rages were storms whenever I'd disobeyed
Et puis il pleurait en cachette parce que j'avais un premier prix
Then he'd cry in secret because I'd won first prize
C'était plus que de la tendresse qu'il avait pour tous nos rosiers
What he felt for all our roses was more than tenderness
Il peignait avec maladresse, c'était toujours moi qui posais
He painted clumsily, I was always the model
Je sais bien que je lui ressemble, je suis têtue comme il l'était
I know I look like him, I'm stubborn like he was
J'ai ses yeux et ses côtés tendres, et j'aime tout ce qu'il aimait
I've got his eyes and his soft side, and I love everything he loved
C'était mon ami et mon frère et tous mes souvenirs d'enfant
He was my friend and my brother and all my childhood memories
C'était mon ami et mon père et il me manque bien souvent
He was my friend and my dad and I miss him so much
