Lyrics and translation Archie Roach - Small Child (2013 Remastered)

Small Child (2013 Remastered)

Petit enfant (2013 remasterisé)

I see the birds up in the tree

Je vois les oiseaux dans l'arbre

You know that I just want to be, free

Tu sais que je veux juste être, libre

I see the clouds up in the sky

Je vois les nuages dans le ciel

You know that I just want to fly, high

Tu sais que je veux juste voler, haut

Small child, I know where you live

Petit enfant, je sais où tu vis

And small child, I know what you give to me

Et petit enfant, je sais ce que tu me donnes

When you speak you whisper

Quand tu parles, tu chuchotes

Those words so soft and mild

Ces mots si doux et doux

Thank God I learnt to listen

Merci mon Dieu, j'ai appris à écouter

To that inner child

Ce petit enfant intérieur

Hello, hello, hello

Salut, salut, salut

Hello, hello, hello

Salut, salut, salut

Hello, hello, hello

Salut, salut, salut

Hello, hello, hello

Salut, salut, salut

Is anybody listening to?

Est-ce que quelqu'un écoute ?

Is anybody listening to?

Est-ce que quelqu'un écoute ?

Is anybody listening to that child?

Est-ce que quelqu'un écoute cet enfant ?

That child

Cet enfant

Don't outgrow the child inside

Ne grandis pas trop l'enfant à l'intérieur

Remember all the times we've cried

Rappelle-toi toutes les fois où nous avons pleuré

Remember all the times we laughed

Rappelle-toi toutes les fois où nous avons ri

When we all had children's hearts

Quand nous avions tous des cœurs d'enfants

Let your mind swim wild and free

Laisse ton esprit nager sauvagement et librement

Like the fishes in the sea

Comme les poissons dans la mer

Imagine all that you can be

Imagine tout ce que tu peux être

Now hold on to the one you love

Maintenant, accroche-toi à celui que tu aimes

Then you can fly above

Alors tu peux voler au-dessus

This Earth, you and me

Cette Terre, toi et moi

Small child, I know where you live

Petit enfant, je sais où tu vis

And small child, I know what you give to me

Et petit enfant, je sais ce que tu me donnes

When you speak you whisper

Quand tu parles, tu chuchotes

Those words so soft and mild

Ces mots si doux et doux

Thank God I learnt to listen

Merci mon Dieu, j'ai appris à écouter

To that inner child

Ce petit enfant intérieur

Hello, hello, hello

Salut, salut, salut

Hello, hello, hello

Salut, salut, salut

Hello, hello, hello

Salut, salut, salut

Hello, hello, hello

Salut, salut, salut

Is anybody listening to?

Est-ce que quelqu'un écoute ?

Is anybody listening to?

Est-ce que quelqu'un écoute ?

Is anybody listening, to that child?

Est-ce que quelqu'un écoute, cet enfant ?

Child

Enfant

Hello, hello, hello

Salut, salut, salut

Hello, hello, hello

Salut, salut, salut

Hello, hello, hello

Salut, salut, salut

Hello, hello, hello

Salut, salut, salut
