La première étoile [English translation]

Whatever the world's expanse, however far away from you,

every single moment, I am thinking of you,

of this piece of France where you remain

along with my childhood and my olive trees.

When everything goes hazy, as the sun dies away

still our star shines up in the sky.

The first star to rise,

the first star will protect us.

Look at it and say you love me,

and this very moment I'll say I love you.

It's so fragile, lost in the night,

yet it shines like our hope.

Through hardships, over the days

it says we love each other like the first day.

The first star to rise,

the first star will protect us.

Tell it you love me, then think of me,

I'll do the same and you'll hear me

whisper I love you inside your arms.

The first star will bring us luck,

the first star is here, inside our hearts,

inside our hearts, inside our hearts.
