La diva - Céline Dion

La nuit quand je m’eveille dans mon desert de gloire

Je songe tres souvent a la diva en moi

Celle qu’on adorait et qui se detestait

La femme dont la voix resonne a tout jamais

[During the night when I wake up in my glory desert

I very often think to the diva in me The one we adored and who hated herself

The woman whose voice echoes forever]

Tous les bravos du monde

N’ont pas pu secourir

Maria la Magnifique

Qui s’est laisse mourrir

[All the bravos of the world

Weren’t able to save

The Magnificient Maria

Who let herself die]

J’avoue que certains soirs quand la foule applaudit

C’est a elle que je pense a qui je dis 'merci'

Il faut avoir gravi les sommets de silence

Pour sentir la douleur de sa desesperance

Et pour avoir chante jusqu’au bout de mon ame

Je me suis reconnu a travers cette femme

[I admit that certain nights when the crowd applauds

My thoughts go to her and I tell her 'thank you'

One has to have climbed the summits of silence

To feel the pain of her despair

And to have sung to the limit of my soul

I recognized myself through that woman]

Tous les bravos du monde

N’ont pas pu secourir

Maria la Magnifique

Qui n’a su que souffrir

[All the bravos of the world

Weren’t able to save

The Magnificient Maria

Who could only suffer]

J’avoue que certains soirs quand je suis sur la scene

J’aimerais que ma voix se confonde a la sienne

[I admit that certain nights when I’m on stage

I’d like my voice to mix with hers]

Tous les bravos du monde

N’ont pas pu appaiser

Maria la Magnifique

La diva ecorchee

[All the bravos of the world

Weren’t able to save

The Magnificient Maria

The scraped diva]

Quand je fuis les lumieres la nuit quand tout s’efface

Surgit dans le desert l’ombre de la Callas

[When I run away from the lights from the night when everything disappears

Comes from the desert the shadow of the Callas]

At night when I wake up in my desert of glory

I very often think about the diva in me

The one we loved and who hated herself

The woman whose voice rings forever

[During the night when I wake up in my glory desert

I very often think to the diva in me The one we adored and who hated herself

The woman whose voice echoes forever]

All the cheers in the world

Couldn't rescue

Maria the Magnificent

who let himself die

[All the bravos of the world

Weren't able to save

The Magnificent Maria

Who let herself die]

I admit that some nights when the crowd cheers

It's her that I think of, to whom I say 'thank you'

You must have climbed the heights of silence

To feel the pain of his desperation

And for singing to the end of my soul

I recognized myself through this woman

[I admitted that certain nights when the crowd applauds

My thoughts go to her and I tell her 'thank you'

One has to have climbed the summits of silence

To feel the pain of her despair

And to have sung to the limit of my soul

I recognized myself through that woman]

All the cheers in the world

Couldn't rescue

Maria the Magnificent

Who only knew how to suffer

[All the bravos of the world

Weren't able to save

The Magnificent Maria

Who could only suffer]

I admit that some nights when I'm on the stage

I would like my voice to merge with his

[I admitted that certain nights when I'm on stage

I'd like my voice to mix with hers]

All the cheers in the world

Couldn't appease

Maria the Magnificent

The flayed diva

[All the bravos of the world

Weren't able to save

The Magnificent Maria

The scraped diva]

When I run from the lights at night when it all fades

Rises in the desert the shadow of the Callas

[When I run away from the lights from the night when everything disappears

Comes from the desert the shadow of the Callas]
