Cécile, ma fille. [English translation]

She wanted a child

I didn't want of.

With her aguments

To make you a father

Cécile, my daughter

When her belly was round

Laughing loud

And she said to me "Come on, be happy

It will be a boy"

And here you are,

Cécile, my daughter.

And here you are

And here I am

I am thirty

You are 6 months

Face to face

Eye to eye

Who's the most suprized of us ?

A long time before you were born

There are many girls I had known

Playing with our hearts

From the brunette won

To the blond I'v lost

Cécile, my daughter

And I know that soon

You will have

Some ideas and some romances

Sweet words on your tops

And hands on your pants

Cécile, my daughter

Me, I will wait for you all night

I will hear you enter noiselessly

But in the morning, I will be perturbate

In front of your eyes more clear than never

I wish someone will forever touches you

Just like I'm doing now

Just like my breath on your lashes

My kiss on your lips

In you children sleep

Cécile, my daughter
