Lyrics and translation Claude François - Donna Donna




Donna Donna
Donna Donna
Il était une fois un petit garçon
Once upon a time there was a little boy
Qui vivait dans une grande maison
Who lived in a big house
Sa vie n'était que joie et bonheur
His life was nothing but joy and happiness
Et pourtant au fond de son coeur
Yet deep down in his heart
Il voulait devenir grand
He wanted to grow up
Rêvait d'être un homme
Dreamed of being a man
Chaque soir il y pensait
Every night he thought about it
Quand sa maman le berçait
When his mother cradled him
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna
Tu regretteras le temps
You will regret time
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna
tu étais un enfant
When you were a child
Puis il a grandi, puis il est parti
Then he grew up, then he left
Et il a découvert la vie
And he discovered life
Les amours déçues, la faim et la peur
Disappointed loves, hunger and fear
Et souvent au fond de son coeur
And often deep down in his heart
Il revoyait son enfance
He saw his childhood again
Rêvait d'autrefois
Dreamed of the past
Tristement il y pensait
Sadly he thought about it
Et il se souvenait
And he remembered
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna
Tu regretteras le temps
You will regret time
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna
tu étais un enfant
When you were a child
Parfois je pense à ce petit garçon
Sometimes I think about that little boy
Ce petit garçon que j'étais
That little boy who was me
