Le boxeur [English translation]

Some bruises on your jaw.

Damaged fists

by the force of you punching.

Through these tests that seperate you

from this big dream

that you wanted so bad.

The blows under the waist

never made you fall.

And I no longer count the injuries

nor all these painful choices

that you had to make.

But, what will I be without your ambitions for me?

I am proud of you

when I see you, dad.

I promise you to box through the hardest possible

and to honor the price of your sacrifices.

In order to give to your dream of love

of love, of love, of love

Who better than I knows what you have been through

All that you had to give up

In order to give to your dream of love

of love, of love, of love

The years march on

Time appears

and the rounds come one after another.

Your blows are slower

Your vision is weak

and your memory bothers you

your support is less solid.

And you see all your teammates fall.

You, your pride always remains firm

in the ring

as long as the has not come.

But, what will I be without your ambitions for me?

I am proud of you

when I see you, dad.

I promise you to box through the hardest possible

and to honor the price of your sacrifices.

In order to give to your dream of love

of love, of love, of love

Who better than I knows what you have been through

All that you had to give up

In order to give to your dream of love

of love, of love, of love

And since you have transfered your gloves onto me.

I fight, I became bigger

Will you be proud of me

Like I was of you?

Yes you

Dad

I promise you to box through the hardest possible

and to honor the price of your sacrifices.

In order to give to your dream of love

of love, of love, of love

Who better than I knows what you have been through

All that you had to give up

In order to give to your dream of love

of love, of love, of love
