Translation of the song lyrics Le cartable rêveur - Grégoire

Le cartable rêveur (original)

Pendant que tu étais
Sur la place, cet été,
Ou bien dans la forêt,
As tu imaginé
Que ton cartable rêvait?
Il rêvait d’avaler
Des crayons, des cahiers,
Puis d’aller comme on vole,
Sur le chemin de l'école.

(translation)

while you were
In the square, this summer,
Or else in the forest,
Did you imagine
That your schoolbag was dreaming?
He dreamed of swallowing
pencils, notebooks,
Then to go as one flies,
On the way to school.
