Translation of the song Papillon artist Lara Fabian

Quelqu’un m’entendra-t-il

Will anyone hear me

Si je ne dis plus un mot ?

If I no longer say a word?

Quelqu’un me verra-t-il

Will anyone see me

Si je disparaissais ?

If I were to disappear?

Je sais.. je sais

I know... I know

J’aurais pu être un papillon

I could have been a butterfly

J'aurais vécu

I would have lived

Une unique journée

A special day

Je vole... volerais

I fly... would fly

M’habillerais de lumière

I'd dress myself in the light

Je me cache... cacherais

I hide... would hide

De la pluie et du vent

From the rain and the wind

Je regarderais la terre

I'd look at the land

Apprécierais sa beauté

Would appreciate its beauty

Je vole... volerais

I fly... would fly

Serais un papillon

Would be a butterfly

Quelqu’un attendra-t-il

Will anyone wait

Pour que ma chrysalide

For my pupa

Se libère de ses fils

To free itself from its yarn

Et se lance dans le vide ?

And launch into nothingness

Je sais je sais

I know I know

J’aurais pu être un papillon.

I could have been a butterfly

J'aurais vécu

I would have lived

Une unique journée..

A special day...

Je vole... volerais

I fly... would fly

M’habillerais de lumière

I'd dress myself in the light

Je me cache... cacherais

I hide... would hide

De la pluie et du vent

From the rain and the wind

Je regarderais la terre

I'd look at the land

Apprécierais sa beauté

Would appreciate its beauty

Je vole... volerais

I fly... would fly

Serais un papillon

Would be a butterfly

Je vole... volerais

I fly... would fly

Je me cache... cacherais

I hide... would hide

Je regarderais la terre

I'd look at the land

Apprécierais sa beauté

Would appreciate its beauty

Je vole... volerais

I fly... would fly

Serais un papillon

Would be a butterfly
