C'?tait un gamin un gosse de Paris
Sa seule famille ?tait sa m?re
Une pauvre fille aux grands yeux fl?tris
Par le chagrin et la mis?re
It was a kid a boy from Paris
His sole family was his mother
A poor girls with big faded eyes
By sorrow and misery
Elle aimait les fleurs, les roses surtout
Et le cher bambin, le dimanche
Lui apportait des roses blanches
Au lieu d'acheter des joujoux
La c?linant bien tendrement
Il disait en les lui donnant
She loved flowers, especially roses
And the belowed child, on sundays
Was bringing her some white roses
Instead of buy toys for himself
Caressing her tenderly
He was saying while giving them to her
«C'est aujourd'hui dimanche
Tiens ma jolie maman
Voici des roses blanches
Toi qui les aimes tant
Va quand je serai grand
J'ach?terai au marchand
Toutes ses roses blanches
Pour toi jolie maman»
";Today it's sunday
Here my beautiful mom
Here are some white roses
You who love them so much
Go when I'll grow old
I will buy from the store
All of his white roses
For you beautiful mommy";
Au dernier printemps le destin brutal
Vint frapper la blonde ouvri?re
Elle tomba malade et pour l'hopital
Le gamin vit partir sa m?re
Un matin d'avril parmi les promeneurs
N'ayant plus un sous dans sa poche
Sur un march? le pauvre gosse
Furtivement vola quelques fleurs
La fleuriste l'ayant surpris, en baissant la t?te il lui dit
On last spring brutal destiny
Came hitting the blond worker
She became ill and for the hospital
The boy saw his mother leave
A morning of april among the walkers
Not having anymore a single penny in his pocket
On the market the poor boy
Furtively stole some flowers
The florist (woman) having caught him, lowering his eyes he told her
«C'est aujourd'hui dimanche
Et j'allais voir maman
J'ai pris ces roses blanches
Elle les aiment tant
Sur son petit lit blanc
L?-bas elle m'attend
J'ai pris ces roses blanches
Pour ma jolie maman»
";Today it's sunday
And I was going to visit mommy
I took those white roses
She love them so much
On her little white bed
In there she's waiting for me
I took those white roses
For my beautiful mommy";
