Translation of Chanson d'amour from French to English
Saturday night, we are all gathered
From the youngest to the oldest, sitting
Words are flying, voices are loud
And then there's my aunt who falls asleep
I close my eyes to take a picture of this moment
I look at them all one by one
Hugo, my brother, how handsome you are
I didn't see you grow up, it's crazy
Who are you thinking about, you look so serious
But you say nothing, you're on your phone
Come on, say it if she's beautiful
It's like a love song
We wish it would last forever
A bit like those moments that seem like nothing
But that roll down our cheeks when we remember them
It's like a love song
The kind that feels good like a hello
The kind that makes us cry in the dark
That gives a bitter taste to goodbyes
Grandpa, what to say about your story
You are a novel all by yourself
Behind your smile and your jokes
The blows you've taken in the face
I promise you'll get your photo
With your granddaughter at the Olympia
Grandma, if the world were like you
There would be no more wars, nor injustices
I love life the way you see it
I think I have a bit of your artist's soul
You put others before yourself
But after you, what will we do?
It's like a love song
We wish it would last forever
A bit like those moments that seem like nothing
But that roll down our cheeks when we remember them
It's like a love song
The kind that feels good like a hello
The kind that makes us cry in the dark
That gives a bitter taste to goodbyes
Dad, you know you're my pillar
I cling to you when things go wrong
You have the words to reassure me
Even if sometimes we don't understand each other
But when we sing Renaud together in the car
It makes the trip go faster, we've had some adventures
Mom, thank you for being you
I've cried so much in your arms
But I've laughed so much with you
Sometimes I want to be like you
I never tell you
But you and dad are beautiful together
It's like a love song
We wish it would last forever
A bit like those moments that seem like nothing
But that roll down our cheeks when we remember them
It's like a love song
The kind that feels good like a hello
The kind that makes us cry in the dark
That gives a bitter taste to goodbyes
It's like a love song
The kind that feels good like a hello
The kind that makes us cry in the dark
That gives a bitter taste to goodbyes
