Ça fait longtemps que t'es partie
It's been a long time since you left
Maintenant
Right now
Je t'écoute démonter ma vie
I'm listening to you take my life apart
En pleurant
Crying
Si j'avais su qu'un matin
If I had known that one morning
Je serai là, sali, jugé, sur un banc
I'll be there, soiled, judged, on a bench
Par l'ombre d'un corps
Through the shadow of a body
Que j'ai serré si souvent
That I've squeezed so often
Pour un enfant
For a child
Tu leur dis que mon métier
You tell them that my job
C'est du vent
It's windy
Qu'on ne sait pas ce que je serai
That we don't know what I'm going to be
Dans un an
In a year's time
S'ils savaient que pour toi
If they knew that for you
Avant de tous les chanteurs j'étais le plus grand
Before all the singers I was the greatest
Et que c'est pour ça
And that's why
Que tu voulais un enfant
That you wanted a child
Devenu grand
Became great
Les juges et les lois
Judges and laws
Ça m'fait pas peur
It doesn't scare me
C'est mon fils ma bataille
This is my son my battle
Fallait pas qu'elle s'en aille
She shouldn't have gone away
Je vais tout casser
I'm going to break everything
Si vous touchez
If you touch
Au fruit de mes entrailles
To the fruit of my bowels
Fallait pas qu'elle s'en aille
She shouldn't have gone away
Bien sûr c'est elle qui l'a porté
Of course it was she who wore it
Et pourtant
And yet
C'est moi qui lui construis sa vie
I'm the one who builds his life for him
Lentement
Slowly
Tout ce qu'elle peut dire sur moi
Everything she can say about me
N'est rien à côté du sourire qu'il me tend
Is nothing next to the smile he hands me
L'absence a des torts
Absence is wrong
Que rien ne défend
That nothing stands up for
C'est mon enfant
This is my child
Les juges et les lois
Judges and laws
Ça m'fait pas peur
It doesn't scare me
C'est mon fils ma bataille
This is my son my battle
Fallait pas qu'elle s'en aille
She shouldn't have gone away
Je vais tout casser
I'm going to break everything
Si vous touchez
If you touch
Au fruit de mes entrailles
To the fruit of my bowels
Fallait pas qu'elle s'en aille
She shouldn't have gone away
