English lyrics for the opening theme?


Does anyone happen to have the English translation of the lyrics to the opening theme of this series? The music was really beautiful, and I'd really like to know just what the woman singing is actually saying.

I translated from the French song (http://www.paroles.net/chansons/12961.htm):

That's (roughly) about it (from online translator and my correction):

Clementine

Clementine, when you close your eyes
You feel the marvel (--> in the world)
Clementine, take us in your blue bubble
Even if it's dangerous
When one is only 10 years old
Often one would like to be taller
To leave by plane while flying away in a gust of wind
All over there towards the horizon
One makes like the li'l Clémentine
One dreams of night of China, of sweet night
And all is much better when Eméra open you her arms
The Evil flees, the Evil goes away
Clementine, you fight day and night
You defy the disease
Clementine, we won't leave you
And one day, all will be fine
The Earth is so beautiful seen from the sky
That gives desire for living close to the sun
With each turn of propeller, one yells out of joy, one is filled with wonder
It is so good to have wings

Together, let's walk
And go around the world without hurrying
There are so many friends we'd like to meet
Clementine will guide us

Thank you very much, clong!
