| Maman, maman, en faisant cette chanson, Maman, maman, je r’deviens petit garçon, Alors je suis sage en classe Et, pour te fair’ plaisir, J’obtiens les meilleures places, Ton désir. Maman, maman, je préfère à mes jeux fous, Maman, maman, demeurer sur tes genoux, Et, sans un mot dire, entendre tes refrains charmants, Maman, maman, maman, maman. Papa, papa, en faisant cette chanson, Papa, papa, je r’deviens petit garçon, Et je t’entends sous l’orage User tout ton humour Pour redonner du courage A nos cœurs lourds. Papa, papa, il n’y eut pas entre nous, Papa, papa, de tendresse ou de mots doux, Pourtant on s’aimait, bien qu’on ne se l’avouât pas, Papa, papa, papa, papa. Maman, papa, en faisant cette chanson, Maman, papa, je r’deviens petit garçon, Et, grâce à cet artifice, Soudain je comprends Le prix de vos sacrifices, Mes parents. Maman, papa, toujours je regretterai, Maman, papa, de vous avoir fait pleurer Au temps où nos cœurs ne se comprenaient encor’ pas, Maman, papa, maman, papa. |
Mom, mom, while composing this song, Mom, mom, I become the little child I once was, Then I behave well in class And, to make you happy, I get the best grades, Just as you wished. Mom, mom, I prefer to my silly games, Mom, mom, to sit on your lap, To listen silently to your charming rhymes, Mom, mom, mom, mom. Dad, dad, while composing this song, Dad, dad, I become the little child I once was, And I hear, through the storm, Your good humor and your jokes, Trying to give us courage When our hearts were afraid. Dad, dad, there wasn’t between us, Dad, dad, much tenderness or gentle words, But we loved each other, though we never said it, Dad, dad, dad, dad. Mom, dad, while composing this song, Mom, dad, I become the little child I once was, And, thanks to this artifice, I suddenly understand The worth of your sacrifices, My parents. Mom, dad, I will always regret, Mom, dad, having made you cry When our hearts did not yet understand each other, Mom, dad, mom, dad. |
