Quand je serai un grand [English translation]

The lights of the city have stolen the stars

And deceived the path of my childhood dreams

The lights of the city have chased away the stars

That used to fill my heart with the greatest infinity

When I am a grown-up

Me, I’m going to clear off

To run through the skies of my childhood dreams

When I am a grown-up

Me, I’m going to clear off

I will fill my heart with the greatest infinity

And all around the earth

I will seek the light

And on the roof of the earth

From here I will see it clearer

The city lights are nothing without stars

It was written well before, before our time

The city lights are nothing without stars

Listen deep in your heart everything there is bigger

When I am a grown-up

Me, I’m going to clear off

Between land and sea, more fear, soul to the wind

When I am a grown-up

Me, I’m going to clear off

I know that around me the world is bigger

And on the roof of the earth

From here I will see clearer

Yes all around the earth

I will look for the light

And all around the earth

I will look for the light

And on the roof of the earth

From here I will see clearer
