Ma bonne étoile [English translation]

I went into the moonlight

At the mercy of my luck,

Blew by all the winds of the world

Like a party paper lantern

Above my head

I saw dancing a point of light

Oh-oh-oh, my good star.

In a baby glitters hung under the sky

I saw a firework

As big as the sun

And since that time, if I look happy

It is because you shine night and day

In the bottom of my eyes.

You speak as they sing

You walk as they dance

And you bring good luck to me every other minute

And I become a magus king

At the beginning of a trip

Which will finish only at the end of time

Oh-oh-oh, my good star.

I sleep in the open air, in the middle of winter

And it is you who warm me up

It is you who light me

And since that time, if I look happy

It is because you shine night and day

In the bottom of my eyes.

In a baby glitters hung under the sky

I saw a firework

As big as the sun

And since that time, if I look happy

It is because you shine night and day

In the bottom of my eyes...
