Petit Bonheur [English translation]

In your eyes, I read one day:

If you see me, keep me

I've sworn you great love

So abandon yourself, give yourself

Beautiful, you kill me

When, with a coaxing look,

In a soft low voice

You hum this refrain:

Small happiness will grow bigger,

Provided God, provided God

Will always grant us love

Small love will grow bigger

Very gently, with time

And promises all around

Heart to hear, hand in hand

We will walk through life with giants' steps

Beautiful, it's not so bad

In a few more steps, we'll be a hundred years old

Beautiful, it kills me to imagine you

So old and bent over

and trying to murmur to me:

Small happiness will grow bigger,

Provided God, provided God

Will always grant us love

Small love will grow bigger

Very gently, with time

And promises all around

You told me, very tenderly,

I know a fable: Once upon a time

They had many children

We will have twelve - marry me

Beautiful, you kill me with those words

Come on, I'll kiss you

Say, do you know that refrain:

Small happiness will grow bigger,

Provided God, provided God

Will always grant us love

Small love will grow bigger

Very gently, with time

And promises all around

(repeat)
