Translation of Le plus beau des cadeaux from French to English
A child is the most beautiful thing that can happen in a life
I felt my heart explode at the birth of our daughter
But my joy was short-lived when shortly after you left
And I feel helpless when our little one tells me
Daddy, I want a flying pony
To join mom who is up there
That way, she wouldn't be alone
Yes, it would really be, the most beautiful of gifts
I would have liked her to be able to get to know you
You, the person who gave birth to her
Know that she would recognize you
Because she asked me for a picture of you to put above her bed
And she kisses it every night
Our little one is really the prettiest
But I don't know what to do when she tells me
Daddy, I want a flying pony
To join mom who is up there
That way, she wouldn't be alone
Yes, it would really be, the most beautiful of gifts
I would have liked you to share her first steps that she took before the age
And her smiles on her face, she looks like you and it's a good sign
Don't worry at all, I give her as much love as I miss you
It may be silly I don't know, but I burst into tears every time she asks me
Daddy, I want a flying pony
To join mom who is up there
That way, she wouldn't be alone
Yes, it would really be, the most beautiful of gifts
When we sit down to eat, she always tells me "daddy can you put an extra plate for mom?"
She is wonderful, she amazes me every day
Because even without knowing you, I see that she really loves you
I know she would give everything if only she could just talk to you once
I am weak I admit, I feel helpless when at Christmas she tells me her wish
Daddy, I want a flying pony
To join mom who is up there
That way, she wouldn't be alone
Yes, it would really be, the most beautiful of gifts
Daddy, I want a flying pony
To join mom who is up there
That way, she wouldn't be alone
Yes, it would really be, the most beautiful of gifts (the most beautiful of gifts)
