Translation of the song lyrics L'Enfant Cerf-Volant - Nolwenn Leroy

L'Enfant Cerf-Volant (original)

Faut le voir
Assis sur un banc
Sur le trottoir
Attendre le vent
Qui a coupé le filament
Qui le retenait à sa vie d' avant
Il dort dehors
Il pleure dedans
Il dit qu 'ailleurs
Rien ne l' attend
L' enfant cerf-volant
Il voulait les nuages
Il est seul enfin
Mais que sera demain
Des parents
Comme il y en a tant
La bride au coeur
Ni fous ni méchants
Eux aussi
Ils ont eu quinze ans
A quoi bon le dire
Ils n' ont plus d' âge
Maintenant
Ils se demandent
A chaque instant
S' il dort dehors
S' il pleure dedans
L' enfant cerf-volant
Il voulait les nuages
Il est seul enfin
Mais que sera demain
Où vont-ils?
Au bout d' un rêve
Que desirent-ils?
Que le vent les élève
Ils n' ont pas le temps
Pas le temps
D' attendre longtemps
Ce moment d' égarement
Il voulait les nuages
Il est seul enfin
Mais que sera demain
Il voulait les nuages
Il attend le vent
L' enfant cerf volant
Il attend le vent
L' enfant cerf-volant

(translation)

Must see it
Sitting on a bench
On the pavement
Wait for the wind
Who cut the filament
That held him back to his life before
He sleeps outside
He's crying inside
He says elsewhere
Nothing awaits
The kite child
He wanted the clouds
He's alone at last
But what will be tomorrow
Parents
As there are so many
The Bridle at Heart
Neither fools nor wicked
Them too
They turned fifteen
What's the use of saying it
They are no longer old
Now
They wonder
Every moment
If he sleeps outside
If he cries inside
The kite child
He wanted the clouds
He's alone at last
But what will be tomorrow
Where are they going?
After a dream
What do they want?
Let the wind lift them
They don't have time
No time
To wait a long time
This moment of bewilderment
He wanted the clouds
He's alone at last
But what will be tomorrow
He wanted the clouds
He waits for the wind
The kite child
He waits for the wind
The kite child
