À quoi rêve une jeune fille [English translation]

What does a young girl dream of

Sitting on the shores of the Nile

That she will blend with an echo

That will take her far, very high above

What does a young girl dream of

From Africa or Manila

That she will wrap herself in the softness of a coat

On a bird's velvet wing

It's in the air...

Without having air*...

That she'll inebriate herself with a new breath

And never with the waves of the water

And in the air...

Flying above the earth...

Drifting through the wind, the hours and the words

This girl had a warm heart

What does a young girl dream of

When the evening goes dark

That the aurora will give her a gift

That she will elevate like a bird

What does a young girl dream of

Sitting on the border of her bed

Of a river with a hundred colors, a painting

Yet on the inside, it's all a farce.

It's in the air...

Without having air*...

That she'll inebriate herself with a new breath

And never with the waves of the water

And in the air...

Flying above the earth...

Drifting through the wind, the hours and the words

This girl had a warm heart

It's in the air...

Without having air*...

That she'll inebriate herself with a new breath

And never with the waves of the water

And in the air...

Flying above the earth...

Drifting through the wind, the hours and the words

This girl had a warm heart

Warm...warm...warm...warm...warm.
