Translation of Jacques a Dit from French to English
I am a bird
That fell from high
I drag my sorrow
A tear that flows
I have a lump in my throat
Like a rolling stone
Lost is the innocence of days spent in the schoolyard
Of happiness, I have none, it's all for Peter and Paul
Jacques said "Run"
Jacques said "Fly"
But not the day I take off
Jacques said "Run"
Jacques said "Love"
I love you so, yet you still leave
Jacques said "Walk"
Jacques said "Dream"
Makes me walk so much that I'm dying
Jacques said "Sure, I forgive him"
Jacques is a dream, not a man
Remains
A hidden melancholy
Under my raincoat
Still dragging
I no longer feel the wind in my sails
Tell me what's the use of my star
If I lose the North?
My wings, I earned them
My wings, I didn't steal them
I did everything as you told me
But the dream fades away
Jacques said "Run"
Jacques said "Fly"
But not the day I take off
Jacques said "Run"
Jacques said "Love"
I love you so, yet you still leave
Jacques said "Walk"
Jacques said "Dream"
Makes me walk so much that I'm dying
Jacques said, sure, a lot of things
But not all rosy about life
Jacques doesn't say everything
Jacques doesn't say a word
Jacques doesn't know what we live
Jacques doesn't know that it's all gray
Jacques said "Run"
Jacques said "Fly"
But not the day I take off
Jacques doesn't say a word (Jacques said "Run", Jacques said "Love")
I love you so, yet you still leave
Jacques knows nothing about life (Jacques said "Walk", Jacques said "Dream")
Makes me walk so much that I'm dying
Life, it's all gray (Jacques said "Drink", Jacques said "Eat")
I've grown up, but nothing changes
Jacques said "Wave"
Jacques said "Run"
But knows nothing about love
Jacques said "Sing, if you want"
I'm slowly losing heart
Jacques said "Sure, I forgive him"
Jacques is a dream, not a man.
