Translation of the song lyrics Quand tu portes - Manset

Quand tu portes (original)

Quand tu portes
Sur tes épaules
Le fardeau
Le plus beau
Quand ta main tremble
De savoir qu’il te ressemble
Quand tu sais que c’est lui
Qui pleure au cœur de la nuit
Quand tu te lèves
Brûlant de fièvre
Que ta main tremble
De savoir qu’il te ressemble
Tu sais que dans ses veines
Le sang est le même
Le sang est le même
Quand il coule
C’est le long tapis de ta vie
Qu’on déroule
Quand tu sais que c’est lui
Qui pleure au cœur de la nuit
Quand il tousse
Dans son lit de mousse
Quand il t’appelle
Que, toujours, tu te rappelles
Souviens toi que c'était lui
Fragile au cœur de la nuit
Et quand un jour
Du haut d’une tour
Tu le verras partir
Comme tout l’monde sans rien dire…

Quand tu portes (translation)

When you wear
on your shoulders
The burden
The most beautiful
When your hand is shaking
To know that he looks like you
When you know it's him
Who cries in the heart of the night
When you wake up
Burning with fever
Your hand is shaking
To know that he looks like you
You know that in his veins
The blood is the same
The blood is the same
When it sinks
It's the long carpet of your life
Let's unroll
When you know it's him
Who cries in the heart of the night
When he coughs
In his moss bed
When he calls you
That you always remember
Remember it was him
Fragile in the dead of night
And when one day
From the top of a tower
You will see him go
Like everyone without saying anything...
