Je te souhaite [English translation]

I wish the stars for you

I wish the light for you

And all the good without the bad

That I didn't know to give you

I wish that you travel

I wish for you to go

To the most beautiful countrysides

That I didn't know to offer you

I wish that you are happy

And that you are loved

That you cake all you can

And as much as you've given me

I wish so very hard

I wish you too much love

Grab life by the horns

(Because my arms are too short)*

I wish that you keep forever

My twenty years

Without ever stopping dreaming

Like I did for too long

I wish you so many laughs

I wish you so much time

That you go away before you suffer

What I couldn't understand

I wish that you are happy

And so very loved

That you take all that you can

And as much as you've given me

I wish so very hard

I wish you too much love

Grab life by the horns

(Because my arms are too short

Too short)*

I wish that you are happy

And so very loved

That you take all that you can

And as much as you've given me

I wish so very hard

I wish you too much love

Grab life by the horns

(Because my arms are too short)*

I wish so very hard

I wish you too much love

Grab life by the horns

(Because my arms are too short

Too short)*

*The idiom for 'to grab life by the horns' in French invokes the arms of the person who is "grabbing," so here the speaker is telling the person to grab life by the horns because she can't because her arms are too short.
