| MOTHER’S HANDS | LES MAINS DE MÈRE |
| | |
| You would cut for us bread ‘n’ butter, | Tu nous as beurré le pain |
| You would make coffee for us all. | Et préparé le café, |
| You would bring us our pee pots, | Tu as lavé nos culs nus, |
| And you would clean, sew and stitch | Tu as nettoyé, tu as cousu, |
| And more, more and more: | Tu as tout arrangé, |
| Everything with your hands. | Le tout de tes mains. |
| | |
| You would cover the boiling milk, | Tu as mis à bouillir notre lait du matin, |
| You would give us candies secretly. | Tu nous as donné des bonbons en cachette |
| You would fetch us the newspapers, | Tu nous as apporté des gazettes, |
| You would count our shirts | Tu as reprisé nos chemises |
| And peel our potatoes: | Et pelé les patates. |
| Everything with your hands. | Le tout de tes mains. |
| | |
| Well then, quite often I say | Tu nous as parfois secoués |
| When we were naughty | Et pour un gros scandale, |
| You would slap us in the face. | Tu nous a donné une mandale. |
| You brought us up one by one. | Tu nous as tous élevés. |
| We were eight kids, | Nous étions huit enfants, |
| Six of us are still alive. | Et six sont encore vivants. |
| Everything with your hands. | Le tout de tes mains. |
| | |
| They were hot, they were cold, | Elles étaient chaudes, elles étaient froides. |
| And then they all grew old. | Maintenant, elles sont roides. |
| Your end is approaching | Maintenant, tu es presque à ta fin. |
| And we are here, now. | Alors, maintenant, nous sommes là, |
| We are here at your side | Et nous voici près de toi, |
| Caressing your hands. | Et nous caressons tes mains. |
