Un jour, un enfant
Un jour se levera
A day will dawn
Sur trois branches de Lilas
Upon three branches of lilac
Qu'un enfant regardera
That a young child will watch
Comme un livre d'images
Like a picture-book
Le monde autour de lui
The world around him
Sera vide et c'est ainsi
Will be empty and this is how
Qu'il inventera la vie
He will invent life
A sa première page
On his first page
En dessinant
By drawing
la forme d'une orange
The shape of an orange
Il donnera au ciel
He will give the sky
son premier soleil
its first sun
En dessinant l'oiseau
By drawing a bird
Il Inventera la fleur
He'll invent the flower
En cherchant le bruit de l'eau
And by looking for the sound of water
Il entendra le cri du coeur
He will hear the cry of the heart
En dessinant
By drawing
les branches d'une étoile
The rays of a star
Il trouvera l'enfant
The child will find
Le chemin des grands
The path of the great ones
Des grands qui ont gardé
Great ones who have kept
Un regard émerveillé
A look of wonder
Pour les fruits de chaque jour
For the fruit of every day
Et pour les roses de l'amour
And for the roses of love
A day will dawn
Sur trois branches de Lilas
Upon three branches of lilac
Qu'un enfant regardera
That a young child will watch
Comme un livre d'images
Like a picture-book
Le monde autour de lui
The world around him
Sera vide et c'est ainsi
Will be empty and this is how
Qu'il inventera la vie
He will invent life
A sa première page
On his first page

Pour les fruits de chaque jour
For the fruit of every day
Et pour les roses de l'amour
And for the roses of love
