L' Oiseau Et L' Enfant
Marie Myriam
The Bird and the Child
Like a child with eyes of light
Who sees birds passing in the distance
Like the blue bird flying over the earth
See how the world... The world is beautiful
Beautiful the boat dancing on the waves
Drunk with life, love, and wind
Beautiful, the emerging song of the waves
Abandoned on the white sand
White the innocent, the poet's blood
Who, by singing, invents love
So that life dresses up for the party
And night turns into day
Day of a life where dawn rises
To awaken the city with heavy eyes
Where mornings unfold dreams
To give us a world of love
Love is you, love is me
The bird is you, the child is me
I am just a girl of the shadows
Who sees the evening star shining
You, my star, who weaves my circle
Come light up my dark sun
Dark the misery, men, and war
Who believe they hold the reins of time
A land of love has no borders
For those with a child's heart
Like a child with eyes of light
Who sees birds passing in the distance
Like the blue bird flying over the earth
We will find this world of love
Love is you, love is me
The bird is you, the child is me
The bird is you, the child is me
The bird is you, the child is me
