Vole vole petite aile
Fly, fly little wing
Ma douce, mon hirondelle
My sweet, my swallow
Va t'en loin, va t'en sereine
Go far away, go serene
Qu'ici rien ne te retienne
So nothing holds you here
Rejoins le ciel et l'éther
Join the sky and the ether
Laisse-nous laisse la terre
Leave us, leave the earth
Quitte manteau de misère
Leave the cloak of misery
Change d'univers
Change your universe
Vole vole petite sœur
Fly, fly little sister
Vole mon ange, ma douleur
Fly my angel, my pain
Quitte ton corps et nous laisse
Leave your body and let us be
Qu'enfin ta souffrance cesse
So that your suffering finally ends
Va rejoindre l'autre rive
Go join the other shore
Celle des fleurs et des rires
The one of flowers and laughter
Celle que tu voulais tant
The one you desired so much
Ta vie d'enfant
Your childhood life
Vole vole mon amour
Fly, fly my love
Puisque le nôtre est trop lourd
Since ours is too heavy
Puisque rien ne te soulage
Since nothing brings you relief
Vole à ton dernier voyage
Fly on your final journey
Lâche tes heures épuisées
Let go of your exhausted hours
Vole, tu l'as pas volé
Fly, you didn't steal it
Deviens souffle, sois colombe
Become breath, be a dove
Pour t'envoler
To soar away
Vole, vole petite flamme
Fly, fly little flame
Vole mon ange, mon âme
Fly my angel, my soul
Quitte ta peau de misère
Leave your skin of despair
Va retrouver la lumière
Go find the light
