Donna Donna - Francaise Version




Il était une fois un petit garçon - Once upon a time there was a little boy
Qui vivait dans une grande maison - who lived in a big house
Sa vie n'était que joie et bonheur - His life was filled with nothing but joy & happiness
Et pourtant au fond de son coeur - in his heart
Il voulait devenir grand - he wanted to become big ('devinir grand' ~ 'grow up'?)
Rêvait d'être un homme - he dreamed of being a man
Chaque soir il y pensait - Every evening he thought about it
Quand sa maman le berçait - while his mother rocked him

Donna donna donna donna
Tu regrettera le temps - You will miss the time
Donna donna donna donna
Où tu étais un enfant - When you were a little child

Puis il a grandi - Then he grew
Puis il est parti - Then he left
Et il a découvert la vie - And he discovered life
Les amours déçus - love disappointing,
La faim et la peur - hunger and fear
Et souvent au fond de son coeur - And often in the bottom of his heart

Il revoyait son enfance -
He'd see his childhood again
Rêvait d'autrefois - He dreamed of the past.
Tristement il y pensait - Sadly, he thought of it
et il se souvenait - and remembered

Donna donna donna donna
Tu regrettera le temps
Donna donna donna donna
Où tu étais un enfant

Parfois je pense à ce petit garçon Sometimes I think of this little boy
Ce petit garçon que j'étais. This little boy I was.
