Avoir une fille

Having a daughter
A little gem
Eyes that shine
Skin so pale

Having a daughter
Is making a woman
A little virtuoso
Before her scales

Having a daughter
A heart of sand
Gift from God
Gift from the devil

Having a daughter
Is committing a crime
Where the guilty is the victim
Having a daughter

She is my life, she is my blood
She is the fruit of my twenties
And I curse all her lovers
She is my life, she is my blood
And I curse all her lovers
Having a daughter, is trembling with fear
That she'll put on makeup for a liar
Having a daughter, is never again
Treating women like I did
Having a daughter

I hate men and their looks
I know their tricks and their victories
And when the day comes when one of them
Takes my daughter from me calling me sir
Then that day and forever
I will lock my heart with a double lock
And I will become deaf
Having a daughter is to continue to hope
And still believe that when the day of my death comes
She will carry deep within her body
That spark of the one who in turn
And out of love will come to cry with a heavy heart

Having a daughter
A little gem
Eyes that shine
Skin so pale

Having a daughter
Is committing a crime
Where the guilty is the victim
Having a daughter
