Lyrics: Celine Dion. Grand Mother.

Ce jour de nuages et de pluie
Ou pour le ciel tu es parti
Au devant d'un monde meilleur
J'avais des larmes plein le coeur


This day of clouds and rain
When for the heaven you left
Looking for a better world
I had my heart full of tears
En tremblant sur la tombe close
J'y ai depose quelques roses
Un enfant doit souffrir un jour
J'ai compris que c'etait mon tour


While shaking over your closed grave
I put on a few roses
A child must suffer someday
I understood that it was my turn
Grand maman que j'aimais tant
Toi qui aimais m'entendre chanter
Depuis deja trop longtemps tu n'es plus
Pour m'ecouter
Et simplement pour dire ton nom
Je te dedie cette chanson


Grand mother that I loved so much
You who was enjoying listening to me sing
Since already too long you're not here anymore
To listen to me
And simply tell your name
I sing this song for you
Quand tu venais nous visiter
Toujours a la fin de l'

Pour mon plaisir tu racontais
Tes histoires droles d'autrefois


When you were visiting us
Always at the end of summer
For my pleasure you were telling
Your funny stories of the old days
En retour je te chantais
Des chansons douces que tu aimais
Tu etais une grande dame
Ton sourire venait de l'ame


In return I was singing to you
Some sweet songs you loved
You were a great lady
Your smile was coming from your soul
Grand maman que j'aimais tant
Toi qui aimais m'entendre chanter
Depuis deja quelque temps tu n'es plus
Pour m'ecouter
Et simplement pour dire ton nom
Je te dedie toutes mes chansons


Grand mother that I loved so much
You who was enjoying listening to me sing
Since already too long you're not here anymore
To listen to me
And simply tell your name
I sing this song for you
