Tous les enfants chantent avec moi [English translation]

They've always told me

That if you sing with your heart

You can make the world sing

And I believe that it's true, because:

As I start singing this tune

I don't know very well why

All the children sing with me

While working while having fun

And sometimes even while sleeping

All the children sing with me

I hear them singing in chorus

And my heart skips a beat

When the children sing: la la la

I remember myself in old times

On the benches of my school

It's a feast around me

I remember how it was

On the benches of my school

There's a party going on around me

If I hum this tune

In fa, in sol or even in mi

All the children do: la la la

Under the big midday sun

Or evenbarefoot in the rain

All the children do: la la la

It's difficult to explain

But my heart is upside down

I was like them and I liked it

But music follows me around

And today when I sing

Even the grown-ups sing with me

Let's sing for the love of life

And for life love us back

Come and sing with me
