Souma Manone … (Cissoko)

si je pouvais… If I could…

J’ai la chance d’exercer le métier de mes rêves : sillonner le monde et chanter. Mais je pars parfois le cœur lourd. Je me dis juste « si je pouvais… ». Si je pouvais rester auprès de vous, vous voir grandir, vous entendre rire, sauter à ma rencontre quand je rentre le soir. J’ai le cœur serré surtout quand Marie me regarde du seuil de la porte et qu’elle me dit « Papa, emmène-moi ! ». Si je pouvais… Mais tel est mon sort : partir, arpenter les chemins, faire mon métier, sacrifier à ma passion. Penser à vous me donne du courage et la force de continuer. Pour vous, pour votre avenir. Vous occupez mes pensées constamment, de mon départ jusqu’à l’heure de nos retrouvailles.


I’m lucky to have the job of my dreams, to travel the world singing. But sometimes I go with a heavy heart. I just say to myself “If I could...” If I could stay with you, watch you grow up, hear you laugh, see you jump for joy when I come home in the evening. My heart sinks especially when Marie watches me from the doorstep and says “Daddy take me with you”. If I could... But this is my fate, Leave, travel far and wide, do my job, sacrifice everything for my passion. I think of you who give me the courage and strength to continue. For you, for your future. You’re always in my thoughts from the moment I leave until I return.
