English translation

Beautiful daughter, don’t be scared
Beautiful son, don’t doubt too much
Girl, don’t worry
Boy, don’t fear

Goddaughter, you’re intelligent
Godson, you’re strong
Neice, you’re wise
Neice, you are more than capable

Tell me, tell me
That you’ll be strong
Tell me, tell me
That you won’t give up
Tell me, tell me
I want you to tell me
Tell me, tell me
Tell me

French translation

N’aie pas peur, ma merveilleuse fille
N’aie pas trop de doutes, mon merveilleux fils
Ne t’en fais pas, jeune fille
Ne crains rien, jeune garçon

Tu es intelligente, ma filleule
Tu es fort, mon filleul
Tu es sage, ma nièce
Tu es tout à fait apte, ma nièce

Dites-moi, dites-moi
Que vous serez forts
Dites-moi, dites-moi
Que vous n’abandonnerez pas
Dites-moi, dites-moi
Je veux vous l’entendre dire
Dites-moi, dites-moi
Dites-moi
