J'ai trop rêvé dans ma jeunesse
Aujourd'hui j'lance des s.o.s
Et j'fous ma bouteille à la mer
Je cherche amour beaucoup d'tendresse
Calins partout beaucoup d'caresse
Ciel toujours bleu bisous ça presse
Beaucoup d'beaux jours et plus d'hivers
S'abstenir si pas gentillesse

I dreamt too much in my youth

I'm sending out an s.o.s. today

And i throw my bottle into the sea

I'm looking for love and a lot of tenderness

Sweet-talk reassurance from everywhere

I want an everblue sky and kisses right away

Many lovely days and many winters

Are not without gentleness

Tendresse tendresse
J'veux d'la tendresse
J'veux du ciel bleu toujours toujou
J'veux des enfants plein ma maison
Des guitares des rires des chansons
J'veus qu'on s'aime
J'veux plus qu'on me blesse

Tenderness, tenderness

I want some tenderness

I want blue skies always and everyday

I want a house full of children

Guitars, laughter and songs

I want us to love each other

I no longer wish to be hurt

J'revois encore dans les nuages
Des grands bateaux des paysages
Des formes longues des grandes plages
C'était mon seul livre d'images
J'cachais mes rêves dans mon cartable
Entre mes livres et mes crayons
Des mots d'amour sur toutes les pages
J'ai pas grandi j'suis dans l'coton

I can still see in the clouds

The great ships, the landscapes

The long shapes, the big beaches

It was my only book of pictures

I hid my dreams in my briefcase

Between my books and my pencils

Words of love on every page

I did not grow up

I have always been kept from the world

Mais où sont-ils ceux que j'attends
Depuis qu'j'mange plus de sucre d'orge
Quelque part avec des enfants
C'est p't'être ça leur île au trésor
J'voudrais voler vers le soleil
Avec tous ceux que j'aime, qui m'aiment
Voler plus loin qu'le gris du ciel
Du côté où la vie est belle

But where are the ones i'm waiting for

Since the time i had barley sugar

Somewhere with the children

Maybe that is their treasure island

I want to fly towards the sun

With everyone i love and who love me

Fly beyond the grey sky

To a place where life is beautiful
