about

A powerful song about hope, dreams and courage.

lyrics

English Translation: "The Married 2-Step"

When I was a dear little baby
When I was a young little girl
Every night I would pray to dream
And I was never discouraged

(Chorus) Dream, dream my little criminelle
Dream, dream, my dear little one
Don’t forget to have hope
Be strong and always dream

The earth makes it tour around the sun
The moon crosses the night sky
My songs repeat themselves mercilessly
This makes me unhappy, unhappy

(Repeat Chorus)

Now I’m married
My children don’t sleep at night
Tonight I drank too much wine
And when I sleep I dream no more

(Repeat Chorus)

French Lyrics:

Quand j’étais un cher bébé
Quand j’étais une jeune ‘tit fille
Tous les soirs j’ai prié â rêver
Et j’etais jamais découragé

(Chorus) Rêve, rêve ma ‘tit criminelle
Rêve, rêve cher ‘tit minion
N’oublie pas d’espérer
Prend courage et rêve toujours

La terre fait sa cours autour du soleil
La lune traverse la nuit étoilée
Mes chansons se répétent sans pitié
Me rend malheureux, me rend malheureux

(Repeat Chorus)

Eh, asteur je suis mariée
Mes enfants ne dorment plus dans la nuit
Ce soir j’ai bu trop de vin
Et quand je dors mes reves m’abandonnent

(Repeat Chorus)
