Une enfant [English translation]

A little girl, a little girl of sixteen

A little girl of spring

Lying on the road ...

She lived in one of these neighborhoods

Where everyone is extremely rich

She left her parents

To follow a boy, a Bohemian

Who knew all too well how to say "I love you"

That one lost his head from it

And their two sunny hearts

Left without leaving an address

Just taking their youth with them

And the sweetness of their sin

A little girl, a little girl of sixteen

A little girl of spring

Lying on the road ...

Their hearts had no seasons

And did not want a prison

They both lived from day to day

Never staying in the same place

Their hearts needed space

To contain such a love

Her present and her future,

That was this beautiful love

Dandling her like a canticle

And loosing her eyes in the blue

A little girl, a little girl of sixteen

A little girl of spring

Lying on the road ...

But her love was too great

Too great for the soul of a child

She only lived by her heart

And her heart created her world

But God does not accept worlds

Of which he is not the creator

Love was her only banquet

He left for a few crumbs

Then her life sounded the retreat

And then the little girl experienced hunger

A little girl, a little girl of sixteen

A little girl of spring

Lying on the road ...

Dead! ...

Ahaaa ...
