J'ai reçu l'amour en héritage [English translation]

I've received the heritage of love

one morning in the land of the cicadas.

Foolishness and wiseness travel

well beyond time,

well above oceans.

I've read and I've turned pages and pages

throughout my years, the foolish or wise ones;

for someone who wasn't put in a cage

it's a nice present

the heritage of love

[Chorus:]

And if my life translates to I love you

if my paths have crossed many torrents

it remains always a gypsy bird

a child of the springtime

I've received the heritage of love

one morning in the land of the cicadas.

Foolishness and wiseness travel

far beyond time,

far above oceans.

I've read and I've turned pages and pages

before I lay my baggage down,

I've seen the falling of many a windy thundershower

before I found

the heritage of love
