Je suis une enfant [English translation]

I’m still a child

Despite my forty years

Despite thirty lovers

Still a child

And I’m a little girl

The li’le one, a sweetheart

Who plucks the alouetta (3)

A li’le girl

My son contests

Mother protests

But I stick to it

And I remain a child

In love with the moment

I make light of worries

Still a child

My heart contests

My skin protests

I dream of here and now

For I am still a child

I turn my back on time

Hair and skirts in the wind

Still a child
