Translation of Les p'tites jolies choses from French to English
The little pretty things
They put a touch of pink in the gray
They don't change life or the color of the sea
These rays of sunshine in the middle of winter
The little pretty things
Sometimes we don't see them anymore, it's life in prose
A bit of poetry that smiles at us
When we remake the world with a friend
For you and me
If that's all that's left for us
For the beauty of the gesture
Like when you pull up the collar of my jacket
Do it for you and me
Show me if you dare
If it's for a good cause
Deep in your heart it's like a bouquet of flowers
These little pretty things
These little pretty things
You, you-you, you-you, you-you-you
You-you, you-you, you-you-you
You-you, you-you, you-you-you
The little pretty things
It smells like coffee in the early morning
And toasted bread, these joys we don't see
But we would miss them if they weren't there
The little pretty things
It's just the sum of a few details
A song we whistle, a tune we adore
A nice memory just as we fall asleep
For you and me
If that's all that's left for us
For the beauty of the gesture
Like when you pull up the collar of my jacket
Do it for you and me
Show me if you dare
If it's for a good cause
Deep in your heart it's like a bouquet of flowers
These little pretty things
These little pretty things
You, you-you, you-you, you-you-you
You-you, you-you, you-you-you (these little pretty things)
You-you, you-you, you-you-you
There will always be great misfortunes
It's not the medals, it's not the honors
Even if there are great battles that impose themselves
Let's not forget to take a break
For these little pretty things
These little pretty things
These little pretty things, hmm
For you and me
If that's all that's left for us
For the beauty of the gesture
Like when you pull up the collar of my jacket
Do it for you and me
Show me if you dare
If it's for a good cause
Deep in your heart it's like a bouquet of flowers
These little pretty things
These little pretty things
You, you-you, you-you, you-you-you
You-you, you-you, you-you-you (these little pretty things)
You-you, you-you, you-you-you
The little pretty things
