MON VRAI DESTIN
by Peter Yarrow, Noel Stookey, Mary Travers and Milton Okun

Dans mes reves, j'entends une voix,
Qui me dit, "Ne pleure pas."
Quel dommage, mes yeux sont des source claires.

Dans mes reves, j'entends une voix,
Qui me dit, "Ne suffre pas."
Quel dommage, mon ame n'est pas de pierre.

REFRAIN:
Mai les voix de mes fantomes
Ne connaissent pas la douleur de l'homme.
Pourtant les cloches m'annoncent toujours mon vrai destin ...


Dans notre maison, fragile et grise,
Nous partageons le reve d'la vie,
Et la lune souriait sur l'innocence.

Dans un monde pleine de neant
Meme le promesses sont du vent
Et le soleil parfois se perd dan les nuages.

REFRAIN:
Ne me quitte pas encore,
Ne me laisse pas partire
Pourtant les cloches m'annoncent toujours mon vrai destin.

(TRANSLATION)

In my dreams, I hear a voice,
Which says to me "Don't cry."
What a shame (i.e., too late), my eyes are clear springs.

In my dreams, I hear a voice,
Which says to me, "Don't suffer."
What a shame, my soul isn't stone.

But the voice of my visions
Doesn't know the sadness of man(kind).
Until the bells (clock tower) announce, always, my true destiny.

In our house, fragile and grey,
We share the dream of life,
And the moon shines on, over our innocence (ignorance).

In a world full of nothing
Promises are like the wind,
And the sun often is lost behind clouds.

Don't leave me again,
Don't let me go.
Until the bells announce, always, my true destiny.
