Mon petit à petit [English translation]

He's chasing the clouds

more than the girls his age.

He wants to cuddle in them,

there his dreams are frozen.

He's swimming in spheres

unknown to us.

A shy mystery,

but a fighting soul.

My little by little

is leaving the ivory tower.

I spend all my nights

hidden in his closet.

I don't allow myself to tell you

I would like you to be by my side.

I feel you're breathing freely away from me

and this breathing is more important than I am.

Pride brushes me,

the missing sometimes scalds me.

My eyes then get wonded

by so many nights without you.

My little by little

is leaving the ivory tower.

I spend all my nights

hidden in your closet.

I like it when your smile shows

at the corner of your eyes,

at the edges of your mouth,

I like it when you hold it back,

and your modesty moves me.

I like to see you change

my little by little,

to see you change

and leave the nest without fear.

My little by little

is leaving the ivory tower.

I spend all my nights

hidden in his closet.

Now I'll dance in the rain

to celebrate your departure.

I would call on the stars

to bring you away from the blizzard.

My little by little

is leaving the ivory tower.

I spend all my nights

hidden in his closet.
