Beau-papa (acoustique) Lyrics in English by Vianney

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Beau-papa (acoustique) by Vianney from French to English.
J'avais pas prévu
I hadn't planned
D'un jour adopter
To one day adopt
Mon enfant j'ai du
My child, I had to
Surtout m'adapter
Especially adapt
Y'a pas que les gènes
It's not just genes
Qui font les familles
That make families
Des humains qui s'aiment
Humans who love each other
Suffisent
Suffice
Et si l'averse
And if the downpour
Nous touche toi et moi
Touches you and me
On la traverse à deux à trois
We'll get through it as two, as three
Et si l'averse
And if the downpour
Nous touche toi et moi
Touches you and me
Prends ma main de beau-papa
Take my hand, step-dad
J'attendais pas
I didn't expect it
J'te laisserai pas
I won't leave you
Même sans l'même sang
Even without the same blood
On s'aimera
We'll love each other
Non je ne volerai jamais la place
No, I'll never steal the place
Du premier qui t'a dit je t'aime
Of the first one who told you "I love you"
Sur ton visage on voit son visage
On your face, we see his face
Et c'est ainsi que tu es belle
And that's how you're beautiful
De vous à moi
Honestly
C'est moi j'avoue
It's me, I admit
Qui me suis invité
Who invited myself
Dans sa vie là
Into her life
Dans la vie où
Into the life where
Elle n'a rien demandé
She didn't ask for anything
Et si l'averse
And if the downpour
Nous touche toi et moi
Touches you and me
On la traverse à deux à trois
We'll get through it as two, as three
Et si l'averse
And if the downpour
Nous touche toi et moi
Touches you and me
Prends ma main de beau-papa
Take my hand, step-dad
J'attendais pas
I didn't expect it
J'te laisserai pas
I won't leave you
Même sans l'même sang
Even without the same blood
On s'aimera
We'll love each other
On s'aimera
We'll love each other
J'avais pas prévu
I hadn't planned
D'un jour adopter
To one day adopt
En vérité nue
The naked truth is
C'est toi qui l'a fait
It's you who made her
Y'a pas que les gènes
It's not just genes
Qui font les familles
That make families
Du moment qu'on s'aime
As long as we love each other
Et si l'averse
And if the downpour
Nous touche toi et moi
Touches you and me
On la traverse à deux à trois
We'll get through it as two, as three
Et si l'averse
And if the downpour
Nous touche toi et moi
Touches you and me
Prends ma main
Take my hand
Dis
Say
Prends-là
Take it
J'attendais pas
I didn't expect it
J'te laisserai pas
I won't leave you
Même sans l'même sang
Even without the same blood
On s'aimera
We'll love each other
Même sans l'même sang
Even without the same blood
On s'aimera
We'll love each other

beau-papa — step-dad

Beau-papa literally translates to "beautiful dad," but it's the common French term for "step-dad." It's an interesting word because it highlights a cultural nuance in how family relationships are named.

In the context of the song, Vianney sings from the perspective of a step-father, expressing his love and commitment to a child who isn't biologically his. The phrase "Prends ma main de beau-papa" (Take my step-dad's hand) beautifully encapsulates the theme of chosen family and unconditional love, making it a central and emotionally resonant word in the lyrics.
