Les paroles, and their approximate translation :
On est bien peu de chose We
are insignificant
Et mon amie la rose And
my friend the rose
Me l’a dit ce matin Told
me so this morning
A l’aurore je suis née At
dawn I was born
Baptisée de rosée Baptized
with dew
Je me suis épanouie I
blossomed
Heureuse et amoureuse Happy
and in love
Aux rayons du soleil Under
the sunshine
Me suis fermée la nuit Closed
myself at night
Me suis réveillée vieille And
woke up old
Pourtant j’étais très belle Yet
I was beautiful
Oui j’étais la plus belle Yes
I was the prettiest
Des fleurs de ton jardin Flower
in your garden
On est bien peu de chose We
are insignificant
Et mon amie la rose And
my friend the rose
Me l’a dit ce matin Told
me so this morning
Vois le dieu qui m’a faite See
the divinity who made me
Me fait courber la tête makes
me bow my head
Et je sens que je tombe and
I feel that I’m falling
Et je sens que je tombe and
I feel that I’m falling
Mon cœur est presque nu My
heart is almost bare
J’ai le pied dans la tombe I’ve
got one foot in the grave
Déjà je ne suis plus Already
I’m gone
Tu m’admirais hier You
admired me yesterday
Et je serai poussière And
I’ll turn to dust
Pour toujours demain. Forever
tomorrow
On est bien peu de chose We
are insignificant
Et mon amie la rose And
my friend the rose
Est morte ce matin Died
this morning
La lune cette nuit The
moon tonight
A veillé mon amie Has
watched over my friend
Moi en rêve j’ai vu I,
in dreams, I’ve seen
Eblouissante et nue Dazzling
and naked
Son âme qui dansait Her
soul dancing
Bien au-delà des nues Far
above the clouds
Et qui me souriait And
smiling at me
Crois celui qui peut croire Believe
those who can
Moi, j’ai besoin d’espoir I,
I need hope
Sinon je ne suis rien Otherwise
I’m nothing
Ou bien si peu de chose Or
so little
C’est mon amie la rose It’s
my friend the rose
Qui l’a dit hier matin. Who
said that yesterday morning
