Un beau jour ou peut-être une nuit
One beautiful day or maybe a night
Près d'un lac, je m'étais endormie
By a lake, I had fallen asleep
Quand soudain, semblant crever le ciel
When suddenly, seeming to pierce the sky
Et venant de nulle part
And coming from nowhere
Surgis un aigle noir
A black eagle appeared
Lentement, les ailes déployées
Slowly, with wings spread wide
Lentement, je le vis tournoyer
Slowly, I saw it swirl
Près de moi, dans un bruissement d'ailes
Near me, in a rustle of wings
Comme tombé du ciel
Like having fallen from the sky
L'oiseau vint se poser
The bird came to rest
Il avait les yeux couleur rubis
He had eyes the color of ruby
Et des plumes de couleur de la nuit
And feathers the shade of night
À son front, brillant de mille feux
On his brow, shining with a thousand lights
L'oiseau roi couronné
The crowned king bird
Portait un diamant bleu
Wore a blue diamond
De son bec, il a touché ma joue
With his beak, he touched my cheek
Dans ma main, il a glissé son cou
In my hand, he slipped his neck
C'est alors que je l'ai reconnu
That's when I recognized him
Surgissant du passé
Emerging from the past
Il m'était revenu
He had returned to me
Dis l'oiseau, oh, dis, emmène-moi
Tell me, bird, oh, tell me, take me away
Retournons au pays d'autrefois
Let's return to the land of yesteryears
Comme avant, dans mes rêves d'enfant
Like before, in my childhood dreams
Pour cueillir en tremblant
To gather, trembling
Des étoiles, des étoiles
Stars, stars
Un beau jour ou peut-être une nuit
One fine day or maybe a night
Près d'un lac, je m'étais endormie
By a lake, I had fallen asleep
Quand soudain, semblant crever le ciel
When suddenly, seeming to pierce the sky
Et venant de nulle part
And coming from nowhere
Surgis un aigle noir
A black eagle appeared
