Il est temps, mon ange
It's time, my angel
De dormir un p'tit peu
To sleep a little bit
On est là pas très loin
We're not very far away
En fait, on est là
In fact, we're right here
Et on compte
And we're counting
Tes battements de cils, tes soupirs
Your eyelash fluttering, your sighs
Quand tu t'endors, ne t'en fais pas
When you fall asleep, don't worry
On viendra te chercher
We'll come to get you
Pour dormir ensemble
To sleep together
Demain on se réveillera avec le soleil
Tomorrow we'll wake up with the sun
De tes yeux
From your eyes
Mais en attendant mon cœur
But in the meantime, my heart
Il faut dormir un p'tit peu
We need to sleep a little bit
Alors chut
So shh
Chut
Shh
Chut
Shh
Faut de beaux rêves
Dream beautiful dreams
(Maman)
(Mom)
