Nel Oliver – Baby Girl

Mon enfant, ma baby girl
Voici venu le moment tant appréhendé
Où je dois te conduire, Bras dessus, bras dessous
A celui qui prendra ta main
Devant Dieu et devant les hommes
Ton prince charmant, A qui tu diras oui
Pour le meilleur et pour le pire

Though I hate to see you go
I know you have your life to live
And I can see love in your eyes
The sun shines brightly in your heart
You’re never been so beautiful
And you can see my joy and pride for you

Though your smile I see your tears
Take his hand my baby girl,
And be his wife forever more
The time has come for you to go
Wipe your tears and never fear
Cause I will always be right here for you

Tu sais j′ai tant rêvé
De pouvoir te garder, sans jamais t’partager
Mon enfant, ma baby girl, ton prince charmant est arrivé

So hard to let you go

Take his hand my baby girl,
And be his wife forever more
The time has come for you to go
Wipe your tears and never fear

And never fail cuz i’ll always be with you, for you

Though I hate to see you go
