La poupée [English translation]

You know my darling, I've lost your way of seeing things

I'm not that child anymore, my mind has lost this hope

About seeing life, the real one that surrounds us

As that woman predicted it that gave me life

And Paradise is far away on Earth

But who lied us about men and their willing to make

Nice things like literature of this world

And not to stain walls with the white dove's blood

Close-up on your eyes full of innocence

Close-up on your face that didn't go through any consequence

Of our society's education

Where unification is a utopia of this humanity

Where wars and slaughters are made by men

That don't want to hear the smallest children's cries

I am sure that the most disturbing thing is

That our children are angels

You know my darling, I don't want you to grow up

The more years pass, the more vices we have

You know unfortunately grown-ups need artifices

Benefits, glory and even fabrics

Stay a child the longest you can, little mischief

Before joining the rangs of knowing adults

But all of that, I don't want to imagine it

I prefer to watch you from here

Playing with dolls

You know my darling, the next part won't be easy

You will learn and understand that grown-ups become fast imbecile

Whatever the person is, whatever the profile is

Deep in every man hide hostile feelings

Hostile to what ?

To themselves and especially to others

Remember Jesus, betrayed by one of his apostles

Do not build this kind of destiny around you

And continue, your steps will open your heart that will guide your path

Toward, I hope that toward the best things

Toward faraway lands, toward a picture of a perfect world

Where every country and every person is reunited in peace

I've seen your look reflecting this Eden

When you reached the sky on your hopscotch with your puck

I am sure that the most strange thing is

That our children are angels

You know my darling, I don't want you to grow up

The more years pass, the more vices we have

You know unfortunately grown-ups need artifices

Benefits, glory and even fabrics

Stay a child the longest you can, little mischief

Before joining the rangs of knowing adults

But all of that, I don't want to imagine it

I prefer to watch you from here

Playing with dolls

You know my darling, we grow up, c'est la vie ( that's life)

Not only in age, but mainly in mind

Between good and evil, we lose shortcuts

Maybe that it's by being a child or a man how we differ

I stay here in front of you admiring

In front of all these children who have eyes full of questions

And I ask you if that disturbed you

If our children were angels

You know my darling, I don't want you to grow up

The more years pass, the more vices we have

You know unfortunately grown-ups need artifices

Benefits, glory and even fabrics

Stay a child the longest you can, little mischief

Before joining the rangs of knowing adults

But all of that, I don't want to imagine it

I prefer to watch you from here
