Une chanson douce [English translation]

A sweet song

That my mother used to sing to me

While sucking my thumb

I listened while slumbering

This sweet song

I want to sing it for you

Because your skin is soft

Like the moss of the woods

The little doe is frightened

In the woods, the wolf is hiding

Ah-woo-oo-oo-oo

But the brave knight passed by

He took the doe in his arms

La la la la

The little doe

It will be you if you want

We won't worry about the wolf

There's two of us against him

A sweet song

That my mother used to sing to me

A gentle song

For all the little babies

Oh, the lovely story, now

The doe changed into a woman

La la la la

And in the arms of the handsome knight

[A] beautiful princess remained

Forever and ever

The beautiful princess

Had your lovely hair

The same caress

Is visible in the depths of your eyes

This sweet song

I want to sing it too

For you, oh my sweet

Until the end of my life

Until the end of my life...
