Calogero "Le Portrait" lyrics

Le Portrait

Il mélange au fond de sa tasseDu mielIl regarde par le vasistasLe cielÀ chaque fois que passe un avionIl se dit que c'est peut-être elleQui passe au-dessus de sa maisonOn lui a dit qu'elle était au ciel

Il rêve couché sur un parquetDans les bras de sa mèreDessinée à la craieTous les soirs en secretCe dessin il le faitTrait pour traitÀ partir d'un portrait

Perdu au fond de sa classeIl s'emmêleIl se débat avec le coriacePlurielPuis il explique à sa maitressepourquoi « parent » ne prend pas d's.Des câlins il en voudrait tellementne serait-ce qu'un par an.

Il rêve couché sur un parquetDans les bras de sa mèreDessinée à la craieTous les soirs en secretCe dessin il le faitTrait pour traitÀ partir d'un portrait

Trait pour traitÀ partir d'un portrait

The portrait

He is mixing at the bottom of his cupsome honey.He is looking, through the fanlight,at the sky.Each time an airplane flies,he thinks maybe it’s herwho passes above his house.They’ve told him she was in the sky ( = heaven)

He is dreaming, lying on the floorin his mother’s arms,his mother drawn in chalk.Every night, secretlyhe makes this drawing,perfectly similar to herfrom a portrait (of her)

Lost at the back of the classroomhe gets confused,He struggles with the toughplural form,Then he explains to his teacherwhy "parent" doesn’t have an s"He would like to be hugged so mucheven only one hug per year would be great

He is dreaming, lying on the floorin his mother’s arms,his mother drawn in chalk.Every night, secretlyhe makes this drawing,perfectly similar to herfrom a portrait (of her)

He is dreaming, lying on the floorin his mother’s armshis mother drawn in chalk.Every night, secretlyhe makes this drawing,perfectly similar to herfrom a portrait (of her)

Perfectly similar to herfrom a portrait (of her)
