Mon père(original) |
| Que la maison me parait vide, sans son dsordre et sans sa voix |
| a me semble encore impossible pourtant il y a deux ans dj Ma mre a rang tous ses livres et ses outils de jardinier |
| Tous ces objets qu’il faisait vivre qui eux aussi vont s’ennuyer |
| Il ne parlait pas de la guerre, pourtant mon hros c’tait lui |
| J’tais si fire qu’il soit mon pre, fire de m’appeler comme lui |
| Ses colres taient des temptes lorsque j’avais dsobI |
| Et puis il pleurait en cachette parce que j’avais un premier prix |
| C’tait plus que de la tendresse qu’il avait pour tous nos rosiers |
| Il peignait avec maladresse, c’tait toujours moi qui posais |
| Je sais bien que je lui ressemble, je suis ttue comme il l’tait |
| J’ai ses yeux et ses cts tendres, et j’aime tout ce qu’il aimait |
| C’tait mon ami et mon frre et tous mes souvenirs d’enfant |
| C’tait mon ami et mon pre et il me manque bien souvent. |
| (translation) |
| That the house seems empty to me, without its mess and without its voice |
| It still seems impossible to me, yet two years ago my mother put away all her books and her gardening tools. |
| All these objects that he brought to life that will also be bored |
| He didn't talk about the war, yet my hero was him |
| I was so fire that he was my father, fire to call me after him |
| His angers were storms when I had disobeyed |
| And then he was crying on the sly because I had a first prize |
| It was more than tenderness he had for all our rose bushes |
| He painted clumsily, it was always me posing |
| I know I look like him, I'm stubborn like he was |
| I have his eyes and his tender sides, and I love everything he loved |
| He was my friend and my brother and all my childhood memories |
| He was my friend and my father and I often miss him. |
