Original Lyrics

Firmaman

De Août à où
La nuit le jour
J'attends j'écoute
Mais coûte que coûte
C'est toi qui descends du firmament
J'ai tout mon temps

J'ai peur je doute
Je pleure et je m'embrouille
Mais mon coeur me voue
A être meilleure en tout
Pour toi qui descends du firmament
J'ai 5000 ans

Sous l'ampleur de la voûte
Mon bonheur se camoufle
S'étire et se retourne
Pour l'arrivée du tour
Oui toi qui descends du firmament
Décidément
Si toi tu m'entends, du firmament
Je t'aime tant		 English Translation

Firmaman*

From August to where 
Night and day 
I wait and listen 
But no matter what it takes 
It's you coming down from Heaven 
I have plenty of time 

I'm scared and doubtful
I cry and feel lost 
But my heart says 
I must be the best at everything 
For you who is coming down from Heaven 
I am 5000 years old 

Beneath the wideness of the sky 
My happiness is hiding 
Stretching and turning upside down 
For the coming of the tour 
Yes, you who are coming down from Heaven 
For sure 
If you hear me, from Heaven 
I love you so much

* a pun between 'firmament' which means 'Heaven' and 'maman' which means 'mummy'
