L' Oiseau Et L' Enfant
Marie Myriam
The Bird and the Child
Like a child with eyes of light
Who sees the birds flying far away
Like the bluebird soaring over the land
Look how beautiful the world, the world is
Beautiful the boat dancing on the waves
Drunk on life, love, and wind
Lovely the song born from the waves
Left behind on the white sand
White the innocent, the blood of the poet
Who, while singing, invents love
So that life can dress up in celebration
And the night turns into day
Day of a life where dawn rises
To wake the city with heavy eyes
Where the mornings strip away dreams
To give us a world of love
Love, it's you, love, it's me
The bird, it's you, the child, it's me
Me, I'm just a girl from the shadows
Who sees the evening star shine
You, my star, who weaves my circle
Come light up my black sun
Black the misery, the men, and the war
Who think they hold the reins of time
A land of love knows no borders
For those who have a child's heart
Like a child with eyes of light
Who sees the birds flying far away
Like the bluebird soaring over the land
We will find this world of love
Love, it's you, love, it's me
The bird, it's you, the child, it's me
The bird, it's you, the child, it's me
The bird, it's you, the child, it's me
