Quando sarai grande

Edoardo Bennato

Originale Versione inglese di Alice Bellesi	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…
