Petit tom [English translation]

How sad is this bed, how shady is this frame

But how strong is this old man, wanting to fight at any cost

Who's talking to you like to a grown-up

Who quite rightly explains to you

Who almost comforts you

Who intelligently tells you

That tomorrow, it's maybe...

Dry your tears, little man

Put on your spring-like smile

I think you're even more handsome now

Dry your tears, little man

You, who never gives up

It will turn you into a great man, you'll see

Dry your tears, little Tom

How beautiful is your room, so much human warmth

And looking at the walls, I can see that there are many who love you

Talking to you like to a grown-up

Who quite rightly explain to you

Who comfort you, maybe

But you, you've understood a long time ago

That everything heals inside your head

Dry your tears, little man

Put on your spring-like smile

I think you're even more handsome now

Dry your tears, little man

What never gives up

Will turn you into a great man, you'll see

Dry your tears, little Tom

I feel so small, standing before a man like you

I don't have your courage to defy everything

This will to always keep walking on

I feel so small, standing before a great man like you

Looking at you, I understand that you can never have lived too much

I feel so small, you see...

Dry your tears, little man

Put on your spring-like smile

I think you're even more handsome now

Dry your tears, little man

What never gives up

Will turn you into a great man, you'll see

Dry your tears, little Tom
