All the boats, all the birds

I'll give you
all the boats,
all the birds, all the suns,
all the roses,
all the things that amaze you,
little girl from my street.
 
You've never seen
all the boats,
all the birds, all the suns,
a treasure island
and golden fruit and bees,
don't cry, little girl.
 
I've dreamt about you,
You've come,
oh, my child, my stranger,
I've found you
on this street...
 
I'll give you
all the boats,
all the birds, all the suns,
I'll teach you the noise of the cities,
the name of the isles,
little girl from my street...
 
You've never seen
Seagulls and the pictures of the dawn
when the ocean
is not a landscape yet,
don't cry, little girl.
 
Come ... there are sails
on the stars,
oh, my child, my stranger,
there is a ball far from your street.
 
I'll give you
all the boats,
all the birds, all the suns,
all the roses,
all the things that amaze you,
little girl from my street.
 
I'll give you
all the oceans, the seagulls
and golden fruit,
a treasure island
and the grand balls on the stars,
don't cry, my love.
 
La la la la la

Well Rosa, I can see your school French is not forgotten.

Toutes les choses qui t'émerveillent > all the things that (make you happy) amaze you

Your friend,

Sorry, I haven't checked the verb.
You're right. I studied French at school and haven't used it ever since except for a couple of times.
Thanks a lot.

Sorry, I thought you were my friend Rosa;
because both of you present yourself with the same image.
Your nickname is “tall”, isn’t it?
Kind regards.

il y a des voiles sur les étoiles > there are veils over the stars (the sky is overcast, the girl can't see a clear sky)
@Valeriu: jaja, caras vemos y usuarios no sabemos

I am not the most indicated to answer your comment but, there is also the meaning "sails/velas", and since the subject is about "boats" I used "veleros" in my 'primera traducción".

The last verse says that there are fetes on the stars, but the girl can't see the stars now, that's why he's saying come there's a fete far from your street (come to see the stars)

¿Qué te parece si digo "Hay niebla/bruma sobre/en las estrellas", en vez de "velos"?

Sabes español mucho mas mejor que yo, no sé cómo suena esto en español, "voile" significa niebla sólo metafóricamente (voile de mystère = velo de misterio), en fin en este caso puedes expresarlo así

Lo pregunto, más que nada, por el francés pues, en español, "velos" es mucho más metafórico que "niebla", que es real. Bueno, veremos. Gracias.

¿Podría haber un error en el original? At a point it says,"Il y a des voiles sur les étoiles...",
later on, "Je te donnerai..... les grand bals sur les étoiles...". Could you, please, explain?

evfokasevfokas    Fri, 16/05/2014 - 19:49

Significa alcanzaremos las estrellas donde los grandes bailes están

Well, I must tell you, I could have translated this one.
La la la la la...

La voy a traducir al español. ¿Qué te parece?

(We didn't present ourselves, the system did).

¿Lo dices por la confusion de Vale?
