| Donnez-lui un peu d’espoir | Give her some hope |
| En lui tendant la main | Holding out her hand |
| De l’eau, du blé, c’est du pain | Water, wheat, it's bread |
| Pour apaiser sa faim | To appease his hunger |
| Do | Do |
| Nnez-lui un simple puits | Give him a simple well |
| Pour irriguer sa vie | To irrigate his life |
| La charrue pour tracer son chemin | The plow to make his way |
| Oui tendez-lui la main | Yes reach out your hand |
| Ouvrez son univers | Open his world |
| En lui tendant la main | Holding out her hand |
| Du bois, du fer, presque rien | Wood, iron, almost nothing |
| Pour bâtir son destin | To build your destiny |
| Donnez-lui un simple outil | Give him a simple tool |
| Pour édifier sa vie | To build his life |
| Le courage de franchir le ravin | The courage to cross the ravine |
| Oui tendez-lui la main | Yes reach out your hand |
| Montrez-lui la liberté | Show him freedom |
| En lui tendant la main | Holding out her hand |
| D’une guitare et d’un refrain | Of a guitar and a chorus |
| Pour chanter les matins | To sing in the mornings |
| Donnez-lui un peu d’amour | Give her some love |
| Pour moissonner ses jours | To reap his days |
| Le savoir pour initier les siens | Knowledge to initiate one's own |
| Ui tendez-lui la main | Ui reach out your hand |
