Lyrics to “Someone else’s child”
And absence came to rest its big wings
On the mute cradle which will no longer sing
She left without me, I stay alone without her
And without this three year old child
Of whom I am not even the father, and who was becoming my child, little by little
She's the one who left but it's him who I miss
This little boy who wasn't mine
But who knew how to bind my acrobat soul
With his head on my neck, with his laughter in his throat
Not having it against my cheek anymore I feel unhappy
Children are the fruit of women not men
But whoever makes the apple sprout
The father, for the child, is the one who is there
The one who caresses his mother and holds out his arms to her
No doubt he will love his future fathers as much
His godfathers, his uncles that his mother will love
But I will keep it for his birthdays
A thought deep inside me
I'll tell myself hey, it has twenty banks
When I think about it sometimes
I feel like I'm getting old
We think the neighbors' children are stupid.
They only serve our eyes to make wrinkles grow
But when by chance, we have one who is there
Who has his mother's black eyes
We love him in spite of ourselves
And absence came to weigh on my distress
In the deserted room where his toys are missing
Nothing will replace him, nor my future mistresses
Neither my work nor the good weather
I am helpless like a father who has just lost his child
And I'm unhappy
