Le fils de superman (Live à l'Olympia) - Céline Dion

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
