« La vie d’enfant »
There are many poems and songs which refer to the childhood life. The poet always wishes to go back to his childhood moments and experience them again. One of my favorite songs which mention this point is the Celine Dion’s song “Vole”.
“Vole vole petite aile
Ma douce, mon hirondelle
Va t'en loin, va t'en sereine
Qu'ici rien ne te retienne”
Fly, fly little wing
My sweet, my swallow
Go far away, go serene
Let nothing here hold you back
…
“Va rejoindre l'autre rive
Celle des fleurs et des rires
Celle que tu voulais tant
Ta vie d'enfant”
Go join the other shore
The one of flowers and laughs
The one you wanted so much
Your childhood life.
When we were a child:
We hadn’t had responsibility and our parents were always beside us. We were pure and much more real. We could live in the moment, even though our memories and wishes were always present. We could play, laugh, cry and play again.
And also as one of my friends told me, we were naïve and we were deceived easily.
What do you think?
Is the childhood the best part of our lives?
“Now I am as happy as a child. Do you believe it, I am coming home !”
