Comme toi [English translation]

She had light-coloured eyes and a velvet dress

[Sitting] next to her mother with the family around her

She poses distractedly in the mild sun of the end of the day

The picture is not good but you can see in it

Happiness personified and the sweetness of the evening.

She loved music, especially Schumann

And also Mozart

Just like you

Just like you...

Just like you, whom I'm watching in silence

Just like you, sleeping and dreaming of what?

Just like you...

She used to go to school in the village down below

She learnt about books, she learnt about laws

She sang about frogs and princesses

Asleep in the woods [NB reference to Sleeping Beauty, which in French is called 'La Belle au Bois Dormant', literally 'the beauty in the sleeping woods']

She loved her doll, she loved her friends

Especially Ruth and Anna and especially Jeremy

And the would get married, one day, in Warsaw maybe.

[chorus]

Her name was Sarah, she was not quite eight years old

Her life was tenderness, dreams and white clouds

But other people had decided otherwise.

She had light-coloured eyes and she was your age

She was a well-behaved little girl, with an ordinary life

But she was not born - unlike you - here and now.

[chorus]
