Say, grandma
How do parents do it
To bring up
The toddlers, tell me how?

Do you have the instructions
By what means tell me
Do we put under a bell
A street urchin?

It's an art, my little son
You have to be able to count to ten:

A girl, a boy
Two good memories
Three good reasons
Four fits of laughter
Five confidences
Six liters of tenderness
Seven kisses in advance
Eight kilos of joy
Nine months of patience
"Ten" tell yourself that it's not more complicated than that

By what prowess
Do the little ones hatch, you know?
They say they are born
In roses or in cabbages, is it true?

Do you know the process
Which stipulates how
We set up
Little pieces of people?

It's a mystery that holds back
No comment on the fingers of the hand CHORUS

A girl, a boy
Two good memories
Three good reasons
Four fits of laughter
Five confidences
Six liters of tenderness
Seven kisses in advance
Eight kilos of joy
Nine months of patience
"Ten" tell yourself that it's not more complicated than that


What is the magic formula
The unique elixir
That makes grow all at once
The street urchins?

You will find I'm sure
At the mercy of the wind, in the sky
Everything is there, in nature:
The essential ingredients

A girl, a boy
Two good memories
Three good reasons
Four fits of laughter
Five confidences
Six liters of tenderness
Seven kisses in advance
Eight kilos of joy
Nine months of patience
"Ten" tell yourself that it's not more complicated than that
