Celui que j'aime [English translation]

Love is not to be picked casually

like a bunch of wild flowers

by the side of a road.

Love is not to be caught casually

like a bird in a net

to be locked in a cage.

But he found me casually,

the one I love.

He caught me like a bird,

the one I love.

He locked me in his hand

the one I love.

And I will love him all my life.

Indeed he found me casually,

the one I love.

He caught me like a bird,

the one I love.

He locked me in his hand

the one I love.

And I will love him all my life.

Love is not to be kept

like the song of the sea

inside a shell.

And love is grieved for

as we cry in the winter wind

as the small boat is wrecked.

But he kept me by his side

the one I love.

Since he gave me more than the sea

the one I love.

Since he gave me more than the sky

the one I love.

And I will love him all my life.

Yes he kept me by his side

the one I love.

Since he gave me more than the sea

the one I love.

Since he gave me more than the sky

the one I love.

And I will love him all my life.
