| Il était une fois un petit garçon | Once upon a time there was a little boy |
| Qui vivait dans une grande maison | Who lived in a big house |
| Sa vie n'était que joie et bonheur | His life was full of joy and happiness |
| Et pourtant au fond de son cœur | And yet deep in her heart |
| Il voulait devenir grand | He wanted to be big |
| Rêvait d'être un homme | Dreamed of being a man |
| Chaque soir il y pensait | Every night he thought about it |
| Quand sa maman le berçait | When his mother rocked him |
| Donna Donna Donna Donna | Donna Donna Donna Donna |
| Tu regretteras le temps | You will regret the time |

| Où tu étais un enfant | where you were a child |
| Puis il a grandi, puis il est parti | Then he grew up, then he left |
| Et il a découvert la vie | And he discovered life |
| Les amours déçues, la faim et la peur | Disappointed loves, hunger and fear |
| Et souvent au fond de son cœur | And often deep in her heart |

| Et il se souvenait | And he remembered |
| Parfois je pense à ce petit garçon | Sometimes I think of that little boy |
| Ce petit garçon que j'étais | That little boy that I was |
