Original Lyrics

La Ballade de Lily-Rose

Il est temps mon ange
De dormir un p'tit peu
On est là pas très loin
En fait, on est là
Et on compte
Tes battements de cils, tes soupirs
Quand tu t'endors, ne t'en fais pas
On viendra te chercher
Pour dormir ensemble
Demain on se réveillera avec le soleil
De tes yeux
Mais en attendant mon coeur
Il faut dormir un p'tit peu
Alors chut...
English Translation

The Ballad of Lily-Rose


It's time my angel 
To sleep a little bit 
We are here, not very far from you, very close
We are here 
And we're counting 
The beatings of your eyelashes, your sighs 
When you feel asleep, don't be afraid 
We will come to take you 
To sleep with us 
Tomorrow we will wake up to the sun 
In your eyes
But meanwhile sweetheart
You have to sleep a little bit
So hush...

Translation: Melody Nelson
