[Verse 1]
Je suis venue
De mon coin de planete
Et je veux chanter pour vous

[I came
From my corner of the planet
And I want to sing for you]

[Verse 2]
Les images et les mots
Qui chantent dans ma tete
Je veux les chanter pour vous

[Images and words
That sing in my head
I want to sing them for you]

[Verse 3]
Tous mes maneges
Mes jardins d'enfance
Je veux les chanter pour vous

[All my merrygorounds
My child gardens
I want to sing them for you]

[Verse 4]
Tant que l'amour
Me prendra dans sa danse
Je chanterai pour vous

[As long as love
Will take me in its dance
I will sing for you]

[Verse 5]
J'irai regarder de plus pres
Toutes les merveilles
Du ciel et de l'eau

[I will go look closer
All the wonders
From sky and water]

[Verse 5]
Tous les oiseaux-flamme
Caressant les vagues
Les iles ou les bateaux sont fous
La course aux etoiles
Le pays des miracles
Je veux les chanter pour vous

[All flaming birds
Caressing the waves
The islands where boats are crazy
The stars race
The miracles country
I want to sing them for you]

[Verse 6]
Je veux qu'on m'apprenne
Les bonheurs de la terre
Et je veux les chanter pour vous
Parce que je vous aime
Et je veux que l'on m'aime
Ce que je chante est pour vous

[I want to learn
Joys from earth
And I want to sing them for you
Because I love you
And I want to be loved
What I'm singing is for you]

[Outro]
Ce que je chante est pour vous

[What I'm singing is for you]
