Mon capitaine

(original)
J’ai connu quelqu’un qui naviguait si bien
Que rien ne pouvait l’arrêter
Il voguait serein sur des flots incertains
Non rien ne le retient jamais
Derrière certains hommes derrière quelques destins
Se cache une force inconnue
Qui transporte et inspire les plus profonds désirs
Et que connaît mon ami c’est sûr
Le pouvoir qu’il a, moi seul je l’ai su
Mais j’ai laissé mon capitaine, je l’ai perdu de vue
J'étais son élève, il a fait ma fortune
En m’indiquant l'étoile du nord
Il me guidait sans peine sur les grandes lagunes
Et n’avait ni regrets ni remords
Il m’aimait je crois malgré quelques débats
Ur le sens de l’errance et du vide
Jusqu’au jour où tremblant je lui dis «il est temps «» A mon tour, d’aller faire ma vie "
Le pouvoir qu’il a, moi seul je l’ai su
Mais j’ai laissé mon capitaine, je l’ai perdu de vue
Un soir sur le port je l’ai trouvé figé
Fatigué, accoudé à la barre
Le vent souffle au dehors, c’est un marin usé
Qui chavire quelque peu du regard
Puis il s’est relevé, m’aurait-il remarqué?
Il déploie sa grand-voile en silence
Et j’observe plein de peine, mon vieux capitaine
S’enfoncer dans l’océan immense
Le pouvoir qu’il a, moi seul je l’ai su
Mais j’ai laissé mon capitaine
(translation)
I knew someone who sailed so well
That nothing could stop her
He sailed serenely on uncertain waves
No nothing ever holds him back
Behind some men behind some destinies
Lies an unknown force
Who transports and inspires the deepest desires
And what my friend knows for sure
The power he has, only I knew
But I left my captain, I lost sight of him
I was his student, he made my fortune
Pointing me to the North Star
He guided me effortlessly over the great lagoons
And had no regrets or remorse
He loved me I believe despite some debates
Ur the sense of wandering and emptiness
Until the day when trembling I tell him "it's time" "My turn, to go and make my life"
The power he has, only I knew
But I left my captain, I lost sight of him
One evening on the harbor I found him frozen
Tired, leaning on the tiller
The wind is blowing outside, he's a worn sailor
Which capsizes somewhat from the gaze
Then he got up, would he have noticed me?
He unfurls his mainsail in silence
And I watch with sorrow, my old captain
To sink into the immense ocean
The power he has, only I knew
But I left my captain
