Une héroine [English translation]

She lives in a flat upstairs

In Paul Vaillant-Couturier street

All by herself

Every morning she gets up at seven o'clock

She gets ready

She runs down the stairs

She always sees

The same faces

At the same time

Oh, oh

In the train that takes her away

Behind the window

There's the same landscape

The same

She thinks sometimes

That a guy is watching her,

Love

She has often cried at night

Because of it

Her heart goes "bang"

But she's still on guard

Oh, oh

She sings in secret

"One day my prince will come"

Oh, oh

It's an ordinary day

With her dreams

And her light beige scarf

But you know what?

Chorus:

Oh, discreet girl

You're a hero to me

It's only for you that I sing

God save the Queen!

For the world, when it wavers,

Is only held together by the thread of kind girls

At nine o'clock sharp

She's a secretary

Serious,

She knows her job well, that's for sure

And then the hours

follow one another one by one

Oh, oh

There are posters of the sea

On the walls

Oh, oh

The evening train

Rolls along

And like yesterday

The night falls from the sky

But I'd like to tell you this:

Chorus

You don't live your life

On the heights of Bel Air

But in your heart, there is

In your heart, that's where the height is

Oh, oh,

It's an ordinary day

And on a chair

There's a light beige scarf

She's sleeping

Chorus

Oh, you're a hero to me

You're a hero to me

Oh, oh

Cause in your heart, heart

That's where the height is

Chorus

Oh, you're a hero to me

You're a hero to me

Oh, oh

Cause in your heart, heart

That's where the height is

Oh, oh

Cause in your heart, heart, heart

That's where the height is
