Ma prière d'enfant [English translation]

Speaking to the sky

As one speaks to people

I have never known, Mommy

Well tonight I'm trying

Here is your child's prayer

My god you're God

But even so you are crying

God how I understand you

Contemplating the Earth

And what your children make of it

Hallelujah

And what now

please respond

Hallelujah

My God

If you're serious

Often I've said

"I'm sorry I have nothing"

to fading beggars

Remind me how much I should give them

We always have a bit (to give)

And the ill

Who no longer have the choice

Tell me why, father

Whether they are small or whether they are kings

Don't you heal them?

Hallelujah

And what now

please respond

Hallelujah

My God

If you're serious

Cursing the sky

With one's teeth clenched

Men do so often

But who makes wars, my Father?

If not your children

Speaking to the sky

As one speaks to people

I've tried, Mommy

Sorry if it's not clear, Father

Here is your child's prayer

Hallelujah

And what now

please respond

Hallelujah

My God

If you're serious
