Maman est folle [English translation]

Mummy is mad,

We can't change that,

But what consoles us

is that she's fond of us.

When she soars up,

We just hold her hand,

Like a balloon rising

dizzily in the wind.

Quiet, Leopold,

Please hush, above all,

In their mufflers, people

Could not understand.

When Mum starts laughing,

We forget we're hungry

that the school -bell' s ringing,

that neighbours are scary,

She is our idol,

She really fills our hearts

She must not be stolen

from us, taken afar

Quiet, Leopold,

Please hush, above all,

In their mufflers, people

Could not understand.

Mummy is mad.

We can't change that,

But I do not want her

stolen, taken afar..
