Mon p'tit gars [English translation]

I don't really have time to play with dolls

So my child, don't be mad at me

I will get that time back, I promise you

In the meantime, open the bottom drawer

You'll find in the back, well hidden

Some of my old soldiers

But be careful, you're not allowed to brake them

Those soldiers are watching over you

(chorus)

And I see you as a great warrior

Who doesn't shoot for fear of hurting

And I see you as a great warrior

Who roars of laughter in front of an entire army

I don't really have time to correct your homeworks

But my child, don't worry

If it's not perfect, I'll be there to erase

In the meantime, read this story

You'll discover the life of Tom Thumb

Who is afraid to get lost in his steps

But for you, there is no need to sow

I already did it, that's the way it is

(refrain)

For tomorrow I only wish for one thing

That you leave those soldiers

After all not that much

That you stay a good little boy

(refrain)

And I see you

And I see you as a schoolboy

Who doesn't fight for fear of hurting

And I see you

And I see you, my friend, my child

My little boy, my confidant

I see you dying of laughter in the playground

Oh, and I see you

I see you arm in arm

Near the girl who will probably take you away from me

And I see you
