Celine Dion Le Fils De Superman Lyrics

Le Fils De Superman Lyrics

Tout comme son pere
Le petit Jean-Pierre
Etait un fan
Un fan de Superman

Just like his father 
The little Jean-Pierre 
Was a fan 
A Superman fan
Il collectionnait
Toutes les bandes dessinees
Ou il pouvait voir son heros
Voler comme un oiseau

He collected 
All the cartoons 
Where he could se his hero 
Fly like a bird
Jean-Pierre devait avoir huit ans hier
Et ses parents en etaient tellement fiers
Qu'ils deciderent de faire
Pour son anniversaire
Un voyage eclair a New York
La ville de Superman

Jean-Pierre should have had eight years yeasterday 
And his parent were very proud of him 
That they decided to do 
For his birthday 
A short trip to New York 
Superman's town
De leur chambre d'hotel
Au cinquantieme etage du Waldorf
La vue etait si belle
Que leur premiere soiree
Ils la passerent a regarder
Les lumieres de Manhattan
Le lendemain

In their hotel room 
On Waldorf's fiftieth floor 
The view was so beautiful 
That their first evening 
They spent it looking 
At Manhattan's lights 
The day after
Ils marcherent sur Broadway
Main dans la main
Comme dans un conte de fees
Et dans un magasin
Ou l'on vend de tout de rien
Jean-Pierre se fit offrir par son pere
Un costume de Superman

They have walked on Broadway 
Hand in hand 
Like in a fairytale 
And in a store 
Where we sell everything and nothing 
Jean-Pierre had his father buy him 
A Superman costume
Des ce soir-la
Il voulu le porter
Comme pyjama
Pour pouvoir mieux rever
Mais quand ses parents
Se furent endormis
Tout pres de lui dans le grand lit
Il se leva sans bruit
Il ouvrit la fenetre
Et quand il vit apparaitre
Les lumieres de Manhattan
Il voulut s'envoler
Dans la nuit etoilee
Comme un oiseau qui plane

On this same night 
He wanted to wear it 
As pijama 
To be able to dream better 
But when his parents 
Were asleep 
All beside him in the large bed 
He stood up without a noise 
He opened the window 
And when he saw 
Manhattan's lights 
He wanted to fly out 
In the starry night 
Like a bird soaring
C'est justement hier
Qu'on a porte en terre
Jean-Pierre
Le fils de Superman

It's exactly yesterday 
That we buried 
Jean-Pierre 
Superman's son
