All the happiness in the world

We wish you all the happiness in the worlds
And someone reach out to you
May your path avoid bombs
That it leads in quiet gardens
 
All the happiness in the world...
 
Since the future is yours
Since we don’t control your fate
That your flight is tomorrow
Like everything we have to offer you
Can’t always be enough for you
In this freedom to come
Since we won’t always be there
As we were in first steps
 
We wish you all the happiness in the world
And someone reach out to you
May your path avoid bombs
That it leads in quiet gardens
 
We wish you all the happiness in the world
For today and tomorrow
May your sun lighten the shade
May it shine with love in everyday life
 
All the happiness in the world...
 
A whole life is before you
So many dreams to live to the end
Surely full of joy at the meeting
Free to make your own choices
To choose what your path will be
And where this one will take you
I just hope you’ll take the time
To enjoy every moment
 
We wish you all the happiness in the world
And someone reach out to you
May your path avoid bombs
That it leads in quiet gardens
We wish you all the happiness in the world
For today and tomorrow
May your sun lighten the shade
May it shine with love in everyday life
 
All the happiness in the world...
All the happiness in the world...
 
I don’t know what world we’ll leave you
We do our best, only sometimes
Not to save your recklessness
But to appease our conscience
Would I have the right to trust you?
 
We wish you all the happiness in the world
And someone reach out to you
May your path avoid bombs
That it leads in quiet gardens
We wish you all the happiness in the world
For today and tomorrow
May your sun lighten the shade
May it shine with love in everyday life
 
We wish you all the happiness in the world
Oh yes, all the hapiness in the world
We wish you all the happiness in the world
Oh yes, all the hapiness in the world
May your path avoid bombs
That it leads in quiet gardens
We wish you all the happiness in the world
All the happiness in the world...
Oh yes, all the happiness in the world
 
All the happiness in the world

A rather good translation. Some comments, however:

typo in line 1 : "all the happiness in the worlD" (no plural)

line 4: may it lead TO quiet gardens (idiomatic use of lead)

"toute une vie s'offre devant vous" would be better translated as "a whole life lies ahead (of you)" OR "a whole life lies before you"

"Surely full of joy at the meeting" sounds really awkward. "Surely lots of joy to be found" sounds more natural.

The line "j'ose espérer que ç'la suffira" is missing in the translated version. It could be translated to "I only hope it'll be enough"

The line "May it shine with love in everyday life" could be lighten up a bit : "may it shine with love everyday"

Thanks for reading! (:
