Lucille et les libellules [English translation]

Two or three dragonflies, flying

Were bothering Lucille

On the road to her school

In the middle of the city

These dragonflies in the city are crazy

Thought Lucille

Who catches them on a thread

And flies away

Two or three dragonflies, flying

Were carrying Lucille

Two or three swallows in line

Were following their flight

They all arrived on an island

So far from her school

That the city lights

Were fireflies

The dragonflies said "Lucille

At our school

Look, it's easy, you just blink

And you fly away..."

As they were saying these words

At the same time Lucille

Heard in the distance, in the city

The bell from her school

Two or three dragonflies, flying

Were following Lucille

On the road to her school

In the middle of the city

Speeding up, supple and slight

Lucille was barely touching the ground

Blinking peacefully

Towards her school
