C'est Une Chanson

It's a Song

C'est Une Chanson

It's a song my mother used to sing to meC'est une chanson que me chantait ma mère
About love and ItalyQui parle d'amour et d'Italie
I carry it inside, it's like a prayerJe la porte en moi c'est comme une prière
For the days when I don't love lifePour les jours où je n'aime pas la vie

It's a song about being proudC'est une chanson qui parle d'être fier
Of building something with your own handsDe bâtir quelque chose de ses mains
It says: My child, you must love the earthElle dit: Mon enfant, il faut aimer la terre
You don't need gold to be someonePas besoin d'or pour être quelqu'un
It says: My child, you must love the earthElle dit: Mon enfant, il faut aimer la terre
You don't need gold to be someonePas besoin d'or pour être quelqu'un

Soon everything, soon everything, will be betterPresto tutto, presto tutto, sarà più bello
Sleep tight, baby, and dream of goldAddormentati bambino, e sogni d'oro
Soon everything, soon everything, will be betterPresto tutto, presto tutto, sarà più bello
Sleep tight, baby, and dream of goldAddormentati bambino e sogni d'oro

It's a tune that heals the woundsC'est une rengaine qui soigne les blessures
A breath of fresh air, of freedomUne bouffée d'air pur, de liberté
A little poem that served as my armorUn petit poème qui me servait d'armure
When the night no longer knew how to rock meQuand la nuit ne savait plus me bercer
Pain is just a sting, we heal from everything, I'm sureLa douleur n'est qu'une piqûre, on guérit de tout j'en suis sûr
I swear the world isn't that toughJe te jure le monde n'est pas si dur
You gotta dream a lot, that's all there is to itIl faut rêver beaucoup, un point c'est tout
That's what the song says, this little boy's melodyC'est ce que dit la chanson, cette mélodie de petit garçon
Oh oh, that's what the song says, this little boy's melodyOh oh, c'est ce que dit la chanson, cette mélodie de petit garçon

Soon everything, soon everything, will be betterPresto tutto, presto tutto, sarà più bello
Sleep tight, baby, and dream of goldAddormentati bambino, e sogni d'oro
Soon everything, soon everything, will be betterPresto tutto, presto tutto, sarà più bello
Sleep tight, baby, and dream of goldAddormentati bambino e sogni d'oro

It's a fact, life is a partyC'est un fait la vie est une fête
All things considered, a fairy taleTout compte fait un conte de fée
I know it's not true every dayJe sais que ce n'est pas vrai tous les jours
But the moment I savor, that's my truthMais l'instant je savoure, c'est là ma vérité
I know it's not true every dayJe sais que ce n'est pas vrai tous les jours
But the moment I savorMais l'instant je savoure

Soon everything, soon everything, will be betterPresto tutto, presto tutto, sarà più bello
Sleep tight, baby, and dream of goldAddormentati bambino e sogni d'oro

Keep going, keep going, and hug meVai avanti vai avanti e abbracciami
Close your eyes, when it's dark, I'll always be hereChiudi gli occhi, quando è nero sarò sempre qui
Keep going, keep going, and hug meVai avanti vai avanti, e abbracciami
Close your eyes, when it's dark, I'll always be hereChiudi gli occhi, quando è nero sarò sempre qui
Close your eyes, when it's dark, I'll always be here, I'll always be hereChiudi gli occhi, quando è nero sarò sempre qui, sarò sempre qui
