Un enfant [English translation]

A child

A child from you

Without being married

A little baby

Tell me if I made one.

It would surprise my friends,

I, the fool

The last of the men

The eternal absent one,

The least of these.

I would have on my heart

Someone less strong

That I would make sleep

With my songs.

Like a God

Forgotten by heaven

I would admire him.

I, his smallest

Like a man

In front of a giant,

I for this child

I would grow up.

A child

A child of me

Who will look

A little like my father,

On my good side

To make my friends cry.

Like a madman

I'll take it away,

I'll take it away,

All alone like a lion.

And I'll explain to him

The original sin

And we'll laugh about it

In the same bed.

Like a God

Forgotten by heaven

I would admire him,

I, his smallest

Like a man

In front of a giant.

I, for this child

I would grow up.

A child,

A child of you,

Without being married,

A little baby.

Tell me: if you give me one,

If you make one for me,

You can go back

With your friends.
