French Speakers: Can You Translate, Please?
In the song "Hold on Tight", by ELO, they have this one verse in French:

Accroches-toi a ton reve
Accroches-toi a ton reve
Quand tu vois ton bateau partir
Quand tu sents -- ton coeur se briser
Accroches-toi a ton reve.

Can someone translate that, please?

BTW, the English chorus for the song is:

Hold on tight to your dream
Hold on tight to your dream
When you see the shadows falling
When you hear that cold wind calling
Hold on tight to your dream.

Is the French passage just a literal translation of the English chorus?

Thanks a bunch!

A CTL of 1 means that TheHollowMen275 is a contributing member of Captain Cynic.
It literally means:
Hold on to your dream
Hold on to your dream
When you see the boat leave
When you know- your heart is broken
Hold onto your dream.

Glad to help!
