Original text with translation
Gilles Dreu
Ma mère me disait:
«Si mes cheveux sont blancs,
Si, sur mon front, tu vois marqué le temps,
Tu m’as donné ces rides, mon enfant.»
Ma mère me disait:
«Mes yeux se font plus gris
A chaque nuit où je n’ai pas dormi.
J’ai tant veillé quand tu étais petit.»
(Refrain)
J’ai vu ce matin en m'éveillant
Mon premier cheveu blanc.
Ma mère me disait:
«Tu crois cueillir la fleur d'éternité
Mais, dans ta main, elle meurt
Et tant de choses sont mortes dans mon coeur.»
Ma mère me disait:
«Te restera l’amour
Il faut donner sans attendre en retour
Tout ton amour.
Tu le verras un jour.»
(au Refrain)
My mother used to tell me:
"If my hair is white,
If on my forehead you see time marked,
You gave me those wrinkles, child."
My mother used to tell me:
"My eyes are getting grayer
Every night I haven't slept.
I watched so much when you were little."
(Chorus)
I saw this morning when I woke up
My first white hair.
My mother used to tell me:
"You think you're picking the flower of eternity
But in your hand it dies
And so many things died in my heart."
My mother used to tell me:
"You will be left with love
You have to give without expecting in return
All your love.
You will see it one day."
(at Chorus)
