Lyrics and translation Michel Berger - L'enfant triste




L'enfant triste
The Sad Child
Quand l′enfant triste est dans le noir
When the sad child is in the dark
Sans rien comprendre et sans rien voir
Understanding nothing and seeing nothing
Et sans vouloir
And not wanting to
Mais qui l'a fait pleurer
But who made him cry
En aurais-tu idée
Do you have any idea
Quand il avait l′air gai
When he looked happy
L'enfant triste, l'enfant triste, l′enfant triste
The sad child, the sad child, the sad child
Tu sais qui s′est
You know who it is
Quand l'enfant triste pense à toi
When the sad child thinks of you
Il perd son esprit et sa voix
He loses his mind and voice
Il n′entend pas
He doesn't hear
Les gens autour de lui
The people around him
Qui viennent et le supplient
Who come and beg him
De prendre un air plus gai
To take on a happier air
L'enfant triste, l′enfant triste, l'enfant triste
The sad child, the sad child, the sad child
Tu sais qui s′est
You know who it is
Mais c'est l'espoir qui lui fait joindre les mains
But it is hope that makes him join his hands
Et pour te voir il vivra jusqu′à demain
And to see you, he will live until tomorrow
Jusqu′à demain
Until tomorrow
Quand l'enfant triste se souvient
When the sad child remembers
De ton sourire ou de ses mains
Your smile or your hands
Quand elles se posent sur toi
When they rest on you
Elles trouvaient leur chemin
They found their way
La première fois déjà
The first time already
Elles le connaissaient bien
They knew him well
L′enfant triste, l'enfant triste, l′enfant triste
The sad child, the sad child, the sad child
Tu sais qui s'est
You know who it is
Tu sais qui s′est
You know who it is
Tu sais qui s'est
You know who it is
L'enfant triste, l′enfant triste, l′enfant triste
The sad child, the sad child, the sad child
Tu sais qui s'est
You know who it is
Tu sais qui s′est
You know who it is
Tu sais qui s'est
You know who it is
L′enfant triste peut être gai
The sad child can be happy
Si tu l'as décidé
If you have decided
L′enfant triste
The sad child
L'enfant triste
The sad child
Tu sais qui s'est
You know who it is
