Cinéma

Cinema

Toute petite, quelquefois il me prenait par la main Very small, sometimes he took me by the hand
Et heureuse, à petits pas, je marchais par les chemins And happy, with small steps, I walked along the paths
Vers la ville aux mille lumières, au côté de mon papa To the city of a thousand lights, alongside my father
Vers le monde extraordinaire et magique du cinéma To the extraordinary and magic world of cinema
  
Peter Pan, c'était le plus grand Peter Pan, he was the tallest
Pour tous les petits enfants For all the little children
Et Mickey était si gai quand il chantait dans les prés And Mickey was so cheerful when he sang in the meadows
Alice aux Pays des Merveilles, le dimanche après-midi Alice in Wonderland on Sunday afternoon
Était blonde, était belle Was blonde, was beautiful
Et le film jamais fini And the film never ended
  
Cinéma, cinéma, tout le monde est fou de toi Cinema, cinema, the whole world is crazy about you
Cinéma, cinéma, des enfants tu est le roi Cinema, cinema, you are the king of the children
Tes images et tes lumières Your pictures and your lights
Font vivre leurs fantaisies Bring their fantasies to life
Comme un carrousel de rêves Like a carrousel of dreams
Tourne et tourne à l'infini Turning and turning until infinity
  
Fred Astaire me rendait folle Fred Astaire made me crazy
Quand ses pieds claquaient au sol When his feet clicked on the ground
Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton
Et le monde de Walt Disney And the world of Walt Disney
L'univers de mon enfance ne me quittera jamais The universe of my childhood will never leave me
  
Cinéma, cinéma, tout le monde est fou de toi Cinema, cinema, the whole world is crazy about you
Cinéma, cinéma, des enfants tu est le roi Cinema, cinema, you are the king of the children
Tes images et tes lumières Your pictures and your lights
Font vivre leurs fantaisies Bring their fantasies to life
Comme un carrousel de rêves Like a carrousel of dreams
Tourne et tourne à l'infini Turning and turning until infinity
