Translation of the song lyrics Donna Donna "Le petit garçon" - Claude François

Donna Donna "Le petit garçon" (original)

Il tait une fois un petit garon
Qui vivait dans une grande maison
Sa vie n’tait que joie et bonheur
Et pourtant au fond de son cњur
Il voulait devenir grand
Rvait d’tre un homme.
Chaque soir il y pensait
Quand sa maman le berait
Donna Donna Donna Donna
Tu regretteras le temps
Donna Donna Donna Donna
O tu tais un enfant
Puis il a grandi, puis il est parti
Et il a dcouvert la vie
Les amours dues, la faim et la peur
Et souvent au fond de son cњur
Il revoyait son enfance
Rvait d’autrefois
Tristement il y pensait
Et il se souvenait
Parfois je pense ce petit garon,
Ce petit garon que j’tais.

Donna Donna "Le petit garçon" (translation)

Once upon a time there was a little boy
Who lived in a big house
His life was full of joy and happiness
And yet deep in her heart
He wanted to be big
Dreamed of being a man.
Every night he thought about it
When his mom would be
Donna Donna Donna Donna
You will regret the time
Donna Donna Donna Donna
where you were a child
Then he grew up, then he left
And he discovered life
Due loves, hunger and fear
And often deep in her heart
He relived his childhood
Dreamed of yesteryear
Sadly he was thinking about it
And he remembered
Sometimes I think that little boy,
This little boy that I was.
