Tout comme son pere 
Le petit Jean-Pierre 
Etait un fan 
Un fan de Superman 


Just like his father 
The little Jean-Pierre 
Was a fan 
A Superman fan 
Il collectionnait 
Toutes les bandes dessinees 
Ou il pouvait voir son heros 
Voler comme un oiseau 


He collected 
All the cartoons 
Where he could se his hero 
Fly like a bird 
Jean-Pierre devait avoir huit ans hier 
Et ses parents en etaient tellement fiers 
Qu'ils deciderent de faire 
Pour son anniversaire 
Un voyage eclair a New York 
La ville de Superman 


Jean-Pierre should have had eight years yeasterday 
And his parent were very proud of him 
That they decided to do 
For his birthday 
A short trip to New York 
Superman's town 
De leur chambre d'hotel 
Au cinquantieme etage du Waldorf 
La vue etait si belle 
Que leur premiere soiree 
Ils la passerent a regarder 
Les lumieres de Manhattan 
Le lendemain 


In their hotel room 
On Waldorf's fiftieth floor 
The view was so beautiful 
That their first evening 
They spent it looking 
At Manhattan's lights 
The day after 
Ils marcherent sur Broadway 
Main dans la main 
Comme dans un conte de fees 
Et dans un magasin 
Ou l'on vend de tout de rien 
Jean-Pierre se fit offrir par son pere 
Un costume de Superman 


They have walked on Broadway 
Hand in hand 
Like in a fairytale 
And in a store 
Where we sell everything and nothing 
Jean-Pierre had his father buy him 
A Superman costume 
Des ce soir-la 
Il voulu le porter 
Comme pyjama 
Pour pouvoir mieux rever 
Mais quand ses parents 
Se furent endormis 
Tout pres de lui dans le grand lit 
Il se leva sans bruit 
Il ouvrit la fenetre 
Et quand il vit apparaitre 
Les lumieres de Manhattan 
Il voulut s'envoler 
Dans la nuit etoilee 
Comme un oiseau qui plane 


On this same night 
He wanted to wear it 
As pijama 
To be able to dream better 
But when his parents 
Were asleep 
All beside him in the large bed 
He stood up without a noise 
He opened the window 
And when he saw 
Manhattan's lights 
He wanted to fly out 
In the starry night 
Like a bird soaring 
C'est justement hier 
Qu'on a porte en terre 
Jean-Pierre 
Le fils de Superman 


It's exactly yesterday 
That we buried 
Jean-Pierre 
Superman's son
