Le Fils de Superman - Celine Dion a l'olympia
Henrik Juul
Hi there.
Is there anyone out there who knows what it is Celine Dion says in
french before "Le Fils de Superman" (track 9) on the album "Celine
Dion a l'olympia".
I have a feeling that it is something touching!
Thanks in advance

roughly, the song is based on a true story.
It is about a couple who go to New York city on a visit with a child.
The child, being in NY thinks he is Superman and jumps to his death from a
rooftop or something.

Celine explains the story of this " Superman's son". She actually
explains that Luc Plamondon wrote this song one day that he was in
New-York and heard about the sad story of a little boy who threw himself
from the top of a skyscraper, because he thought he could fly like
Superman.

Yes. She tells (if I understood it correctly):
"Un jour, Luc Plamondon était à New York et il y a une histoire
tragique qui est arrivée, une histoire vraie, d'un petit garçon qui
s'est jeté en bas [?] d'un gratte-ciel, car il pensait qu'il était
Superman. Et Luc Plamondon en a fait une chanson."
In English: "One day, Luc Plamandandon [the writer of the song and the
whole "Des mots qui sonnent" album] was in New York. A tragic accident
happened - it's a TRUE story - of a little boy who jumped off a sky
screaper as he thought he was Superman - and Luc Plamandon made a song
out of it."
I hope you understand my translation ;-)
