Prendre un enfant [English translation]

Being hand in hand with a child

to lead him to the future,

To give him confidence in his way,

taking a child as a king.

Taking a child in your arms

and, for the first time,

dry your tears, without showing your joy

taking a child in your arms

Taking a child in your heart

to comfort its sorrows

very gently, without talking, shameless,

taking a child in your heart

Taking a child in your arms

and for the first time

shedding tears, without showing your joy

taking a child at your side

Being hand in hand with a child

And singing him lullabies

to let it sleep at the end of the day

Taking a child with love

taking a child as it comes

and comfort its griefs

Living your life for years, then suddenly

taking a child by the hand

Looking to the end of the way

Taking a child as your own.
