Petit fantôme [English translation]

You were born under a gray sky

In Galway Bay *

I was young, so young and you

So small, so small

Ten years have already passed

At Magdalene Laundry **

Ten years that you grow without me

Far from here, far from here

Take me in Your arms

Stay at least until dawn

Oh, until dawn

I beg you, hug me

I'm never afraid of ghosts anymore

Of ghosts...

I hold a picture of us tight

In the evening to fall asleep

I think back to the hotness of your cheeks

To your smile, your smile

Oh, of course, time goes by

But not memories

Always this water in my eyes

Which flickers, which flickers

Take me in Your arms

Stay at least until dawn

Oh, until dawn

I beg you, hug me

I'm never afraid of ghosts anymore

Of ghosts...

Do you call her "mommy"

Does she stay up with you at night?

Say, do you make windmills?

(And) foolishness,foolishness ?

Stay a little here

Stay a little and hold me tight

Keep me company

I think I'm going crazy

Take me in Your arms

Stay at least until dawn

Oh, until dawn

I beg you, hug me

I'm never afraid of ghosts anymore

Of Ghosts...
