Le fils de Superman [English translation]

Just like his father

Little Jean-Pierre

Was a fan

A fan of Superman

He used to collect

Every comic book

Where he could see his hero

Fly like a bird

Jean-Pierre was to turn eight yesterday

And his parents were so proud of him

They decided to take

For his birthday

A quick trip to New York

The city of Superman

From their hotel room

At the fiftieth floor of the Waldorf

The sight was so beautiful

That they spent their first eve

To watch

The lights of Manhattan

The day after

They took a walk on Broadway

Hand in hand

Like in a fairytale

And in a shop

Where you can buy everything

Jean-Pierre was offered by his father

A Superman's suit

On that very night

He wanted to wear it

As a pajama

To dream better

But when his parents

Fell asleep

Close to him in the large bed

He quietly got up

He opened the window

And when he saw the lights

Of Manhattan appear

He wanted to fly away

In the starlit night

Like a gliding bird

That's just yesterday

They laid him to rest

Jean-Pierre

Superman's son
