Capucine lyrics (English Translation) by Aldebert feat. ZAZ

(Verse 1)
Child:
Ah, well, tell me, darling, you’ve drawn a lovely hat!
Parent:
But, my dear, that is not a hat.
Child:
Ah, well, then what is it?
Have you ever read The Little Prince?

Capucine, Nasturtium…
Capucine, Nasturtium…

(Verse 2)
Child:
Look up in the air, way up in the sky!
Dad, there are such funny things!
A dromedary playing the cello,
A gamekeeper striking a pose!
Parent:
Those are only clouds, my love.
Child:
Stratocumulus?

(Verse 3)
Child:
And the cherry tree there, right in front of you!
Dad, do you see on the trunk
That vigilante riding his cat,
Who is vanquishing the dragons?
Parent:
That is only a piece of wood
With a few bumps, my little siren.
(Look)
How can you see all of this
In the bark and the lichen?

(Chorus)
Child:
Everything I see,
All that is emerging,
It is all truly there
When it is me who imagines it!
Horses and kings,
Rabbits, elves, and jinns…
It is all truly there
When it is you who imagines it!
Capucine, Capucine, Capucine!

(Verse 4)
Child:
That strange silhouette—
It looks like Antonio Vivaldi!
Or Michelangelo, but fluffy!
Parent:
Personally, I see nothing.
One thing is sure: she exaggerates!
Now she sees Italians
On her grandmother’s walls!

(Chorus)
Parent:
All that you see,
It is you who imagines it!
Child:
Horses and kings,
Rabbits, elves, and jinns…
It is all truly there
When it is me who imagines it!
Capucine, Nasturtium!

(Bridge)
Child:
“Hallucinations,” you say…
But you know, Dad, that’s what it’s worth:
It’s my imagination!

Waves on the shore…
You, you just repeat things
In the ink of your dreams.

(Outro)
Duet:
When it is you…
Everything you see,
All that is emerging,
It is all good there
When it is me who imagines it…

Nasturtium, Nasturtium…
Capucine, Nasturtium…
