Quand le soleil à travers
When the sun through
La forêt
The forest
Se change en or
Turns into gold
Dans vos bras c'est beau
In your arms it's beautiful
Un garçon qui s'endort
A boy who falls asleep
Il avait l'air
He looked like
D'un enfant
A child
Sans parents
Without parents
Qui cherche encore
Who still searches
Si sa route
If his path
Ira vers le sud ou le nord
It will go to the south or the north
Benjamin
Benjamin
C'est son nom
That's his name
Il ressemble à la couleur
He resembles the color
De ma chanson
Of my song
Un peu triste, cyclamen
A little sad, cyclamen
Pourtant, pourtant
Yet, yet
C'est lui que j'aime
It's him that I love
Que j'aime
That I love
Benjamin
Benjamin
Des beaux jours
Beautiful days
O l'amour ne s'appelait pas encore l'amour
Oh love wasn't yet called love
Benjamin mon vieil ami
Benjamin my old friend
Du temps, du temps où j'apprenais la vie
Back in the days when I was learning about life
Je l'aime
I love her
Quant le soleil
When the sun
A qui
To whom
La forêt
The forest
J'ai pris sa main
I took her hand
Un matin devant la croise des chemins
One morning at the crossroads
En se jurant
By swearing
Tendrement
Tenderly
De s'aimer
To love each other
Jusqu la mort
Until death
Il a pris le sud et moi j'ai pris le nord
He took the south and I took the north
Benjamin
Benjamin
C'est son nom
That's his name
Il ressemble à la couleur
He resembles the color
De ma chanson
Of my song
Un peu triste, cyclamen
A little sad, cyclamen
Pourtant, pourtant
Yet, yet
C'est lui que j'aime
It's him that I love
Que j'aime
That I love
Benjamin
Benjamin
Des beaux jours
Of beautiful days
O l'amour ne s'appelait pas encore l'amour
Oh love, it wasn't called love yet
Benjamin mon vieil ami
Benjamin, my old friend
Du temps, du temps où j'apprenais la vie
The time, the time when I was learning about life
Je l'aime
I love him
Benjamin,. je l'aime
Benjamin, I love him
