| Version française – QUAND TU SERAS GRAND – Marco Valdo M.I. – 20... |
WHEN YOU GROW UP | QUAND TU SERAS GRAND |
| |
Emptiness, and then | Le vide, et |
you wake up and there is | Au réveil, il y a |
the whole word | Un monde entier |
around you. | Autour de toi |
| |
They have enrolled you | Ils t’ont inscrit |
in a big game, | À un grand jeu, |
if you cannot see, | Si tu ne comprends pas, |
if you ask questions | Si tu interroges, |
| |
they who answer | On te répond : |
tell you it’s early, | C’est trop tôt, |
when you grow up | Quand tu seras grand, |
then you’ll know everything... | Alors, tu sauras tout… |
| |
You will know why, | Tu sauras pourquoi, |
you will know why, | Tu sauras pourquoi |
when you grow up | Quand tu seras grand, |
you will know why... | Tu sauras pourquoi… |
| |
And so you keep watching | Et alors tu observes |
other people playing: | les autres qui jouent ; |
it’s an odd game, | C’est un jeu étrange, |
you have to learn it. | Tu dois apprendre. |
| |
You have to shut up, | Tu dois rester silencieux |
to just listen, | Seulement écouter |
you have to read as many books as you can, | Tu dois lire autant de livres que tu peux, |
you have to study. | Tu dois étudier. |
| |
Everything is written down, | Tout est écrit, |
it’s catalogued, | Catalogué, |
every secret, | Chaque secret, |
every sin. | Chaque péché. |
| |
You will know why, | Tu sauras pourquoi, |
you will know why, | Tu sauras pourquoi |
when you grow up | Quand tu seras grand, |
you will know why... | Tu sauras pourquoi… |
