[Verse 1]
Seul un oiseau blanc
Connait le coeur de l'ocean
Oui seul un oiseau blanc
Connait le vent

[Only a white bird
Knows the heart of the ocean
Yes only a white bird
Knows the wind]

[Bridge]
Il a parcourut tous les ici tous les ailleurs
Pense a ce qu'il a vu d'en haut en quelques heures

[It went to all those here and all those there
Think of what it saw from up there in a few hours]

[Chorus]
Je suis comme la mer comme un pays d'ailleurs
Seul un oiseau blanc
Connait mon coeur
Seul un oiseau blanc
Me parle de mon ame
Seul un oiseau blanc
Me connait vraiment

[I am like the sea like a country from elsewhere
Only a white bird
Knows my heart
Only a white bird
Speak to me about my soul
Only a white bird
Knows me truly]

[Verse 2]
Je peux tout lui dire
Ce que je pense de plus fou
Qui pourrait faire sourire les gens chez-nous
Il est mon ami
Je n'ai pas peur de lui parler
Il gardera pour lui le nom de mon secret

[I can tell him all
The craziest of my toughts
That would make smile people at home
He's my friend
I'm not afraid of speaking to him
He'll keep the name of my secret for himself]

[Chorus]
