A song written for my grand-daughter's first birthday.
[Chorus] She’s just a baby girl, an angel of one,
Who draws all my attention with a wink or with a smile.
She is my morning sun, my heaven on earth,
A bouquet full of laughter since the day of her birth.
I see you growing day after day,
I see you quickly changing,
Every week, sweet child seeks
The ever safest path to wisely ageing.
You’ll soon be walking, walking your way,
On roads of life’s adventure.
Two steps up and one step down
Will help you to defy the laws of nature.
(Chorus] And one day, you’ll be dancing, surely winning some hearts,
Escorted by those fairies, very protective from the start.
And if you sometime stumble, never give up, carry on!
You’ll soon see you were able to lead a good life of your own.
(Solo)
Life will hand you a mountain of smiles,
And surely cups of tears.
Well I'm here to drain them and improve the climb
While helping you to whiten your daddy's hair.
Fuji will be showing the way
To an enlightened childhood,
I will too, take you through
The world of sounds that heal and make you feel good.
[French chorus] Tu t’en iras danser sur les coeurs et les âmes,
Sous les yeux concernés des fées qui veillent sur ton berceau,
En trébuchant parfois, souviens-toi, petite flamme,
Les genoux couronnés ne font pas le monde moins beau.
[Coda] Toujours relève-toi !
Petite Natasha…
Construis-toi un monde de joies.
