Le petit garçon [English translation]

There once was a little boy

Who lived in a big house

His life was nothing but joy and happiness

And yet from the bottom of his heart

He wanted to become big

Dreamed of being a man.

Each night he thought of it

When his mom cradled him

Chorus:

Donna Donna Donna Donna

You will miss the time

Donna Donna Donna Donna

When you were a child

Then he grew up, then he left home

And he discovered life

Disappointed loves, hunger and fear

And often from the bottom of his heart

He looked back on his childhood

Dreamed of other times

Sadly he thought of it

And he remembered

Chorus:

Sometimes I think of this little boy,

This little boy that I was.
