Quand tu portes [English translation]

When you carry

On your shoulders

The most beautiful

Burden

When your hand shivers

Because he looks like you

When you know it's him

Crying at the dead of night

When you get up

Burning with fever

When your hand shivers

Knowing that he looks like you

You know that in his veins

It's the same blood

It's the same blood

When it flows

It's the long carpet of your life

That unfolds

When you know it's him

Crying at the dead of night

When he coughs

In his foam cot

When he calls you

Always keep in mind

Remember it was him

Frail at the dead of night

And when one day

From the top of a tower

You will see him go

As everyone without a word...
