Listen to poem:

Le Bonheur des Enfants

Hello to my heart, happiness is here.
Hello to the Earth, happiness suits me.

Hello Santa Claus,
Carry my dreams to the sky.

Hello to the cat who always purrs,
Here is the caress of my velvet hand.

Hello my friend, you offer me a toy,
You awaken in me the desire to share.

Hello child, you will be my brother or my sister,
You brighten my eyes with sweetness.

Hello my parents,
One day I too will be grown.

Hello house, you protect me from winter,
You keep my whole universe.

Hello forest,
You offer us so much beauty.

Hello dance, hello song,
You cradle my child’s kingdom.

Hello wind, hello sun,
In one word or a hundred, you amaze me, you awaken me.

From the moon to the stars that sparkle,
Happiness is a cry of the heart like no other.

Hello to my heart, happiness is here.
Hello to the Earth, happiness suits me.
