[English]

The smile that lights up

The gaze that becomes misty

And you go dance in the sky

You calm me, you deceive me

Then you glide softly

Towards the most beautiful of sleeps

Sleep, my angel

In eternal innocence

Sleep, my angel

Heaven is your home

Fly, my angel

Life is sweeter elsewhere

Sleep (sleep)

Sleep (sleep)

Sleep (sleep)

My angel, sleep

The bells ring, the Angelus

Fly (fly)

Fly (fly)

Fly (fly)

It's my childhood that is flying away

These are my dreams that are being violated

I am a tightrope walker

Suspended in the mist

I walk on the thread of your steps

I stagger, I tumble

And I plunge into the foam

Of days that speak of you

Sleep, my angel (sleep, my angel)

In eternal innocence (sleep, my angel)

Sleep, my angel

Heaven is your home

Fly, my angel

Time will heal my pain

...

[French]

Le sourire qui s'allume

Le regard qui s'embrume

Et tu t'en vas danser au ciel

Tu m'apaises, tu me mens

Puis tu glisses doucement

Vers le plus beau des sommeils

Dors mon ange

Dans l'éternelle candeur

Dors mon ange

Le ciel est ta demeure

Vole mon ange

La vie est plus douce ailleurs

Dors (dors)

Dors (dors)

Dors (dors)

Mon ange dors

Les cloches sonnent, l'angélus

Vole (vole)

Vole (vole)

Vole (vole)

C'est mon enfance qui s'envole

Ce sont mes rêves que l'on viole

Je suis un funambule

Suspendue dans la brume

Je marche sur le fil de tes pas

Je titube, je bascule

Et je plonge dans l'écume

Des jours qui me parlent de toi

Dors mon ange (dors mon ange)

Dans l'éternelle candeur (dors mon ange)

Dors mon ange

Le ciel est ta demeure

Vole mon ange

Le temps pansera ma douleur
