Une fille aux yeux clairs [English translation]

I never imagined my mother's hair

Other than grey-white

Before I knew this girl with clear eyes

That she was at the age of twenty.

I would never have thought my mother

Knew how to make a child

If I hadn't seen this blond with clear eyes

This girl with white breasts.

And I had forgotten that before being my mother

She lived for thirty years

And that she gave herself and suffered

In the embrace of a lover.

I would never have thought my mother

Could have had sex

If I hadn't seen this blond with clear eyes

This girl with heavy breasts.

I didn't imagine my mother to be still

So pretty with grey-white shades

In the eyes of the one who stroked her body,

Who loved her now.

I would never have thought my mother

Knew how to make a child

If I hadn't seen this blond with clear eyes

This girl with white breasts,

If I hadn't seen this blond with clear eyes

That she was at the age of twenty.
