Tout comme son pere
|
Le petit Jean-Pierre
|
Etait un fan
|
Un fan de Superman
|
|
Just like his father
|
The little Jean-Pierre
|
Was a fan
|
A Superman fan
|
Il collectionnait
|
Toutes les bandes dessinees
|
Ou il pouvait voir son heros
|
Voler comme un oiseau
|
|
He collected
|
All the cartoons
|
Where he could se his hero
|
Fly like a bird
|
Jean-Pierre devait avoir huit ans hier
|
Et ses parents en etaient tellement fiers
|
Qu'ils deciderent de faire
|
Pour son anniversaire
|
Un voyage eclair a New York
|
La ville de Superman
|
|
Jean-Pierre should have had eight years yeasterday
|
And his parent were very proud of him
|
That they decided to do
|
For his birthday
|
A short trip to New York
|
Superman's town
|
De leur chambre d'hotel
|
Au cinquantieme etage du Waldorf
|
La vue etait si belle
|
Que leur premiere soiree
|
Ils la passerent a regarder
|
Les lumieres de Manhattan
|
Le lendemain
|
|
In their hotel room
|
On Waldorf's fiftieth floor
|
The view was so beautiful
|
That their first evening
|
They spent it looking
|
At Manhattan's lights
|
The day after
|
Ils marcherent sur Broadway
|
Main dans la main
|
Comme dans un conte de fees
|
Et dans un magasin
|
Ou l'on vend de tout de rien
|
Jean-Pierre se fit offrir par son pere
|
Un costume de Superman
|
|
They have walked on Broadway
|
Hand in hand
|
Like in a fairytale
|
And in a store
|
Where we sell everything and nothing
|
Jean-Pierre had his father buy him
|
A Superman costume
|
Des ce soir-la
|
Il voulu le porter
|
Comme pyjama
|
Pour pouvoir mieux rever
|
Mais quand ses parents
|
Se furent endormis
|
Tout pres de lui dans le grand lit
|
Il se leva sans bruit
|
Il ouvrit la fenetre
|
Et quand il vit apparaitre
|
Les lumieres de Manhattan
|
Il voulut s'envoler
|
Dans la nuit etoilee
|
Comme un oiseau qui plane
|
|
On this same night
|
He wanted to wear it
|
As pijama
|
To be able to dream better
|
But when his parents
|
Were asleep
|
All beside him in the large bed
|
He stood up without a noise
|
He opened the window
|
And when he saw
|
Manhattan's lights
|
He wanted to fly out
|
In the starry night
|
Like a bird soaring
|
C'est justement hier
|
Qu'on a porte en terre
|
Jean-Pierre
|
Le fils de Superman
|
|
It's exactly yesterday
|
That we buried
|
Jean-Pierre
|
Superman's son
|
