Quarante et quelques(original) |
| bien, c’etait bien |
| mais sa me parait deja loin |
| 20 ans tout le monde en parle et s’en souviens |
| plus ou moins bien |
| hier c’etait sans doute le passage a l’heure d’hiver, |
| il faudrait pour ca regarder en arriere, |
| ou faire le point, |
| mais les années passent |
| le temps d’etre a sa place |
| j’en ai quarante et quelques, |
| quarantes et des poussires et, |
| et encore de la route a faire, |
| si c’est un naufrage |
| qu’on triche quelque soit l’age, |
| j’en ai quarante et qualeques |
| quarantes et des poussieres |
| et le meilleur devant moi; |
| tiens, je parles d’un avant dont je n’ai plus besoin, |
| 30 ans c’est pourtant un chiffre qu’on retient |
| pourquoi, pour rien, |
| pour dire, que c’est pas si mal d’arriver a le dire, |
| que «je t’aime» ne donne pas l’envie de s’enfuir |
| mais de grandir |
| mais les années passent |
| le temps d’etre a sa place |
| j’en ai quarante et quelques, |
| quarantes et des poussires et, |
| et encore de la route a faire, |
| si c’est un naufrage |
| qu’on triche quelque soit l’age, |
| j’en ai quarante et qualeques |
| quarantes et des poussieres |
| et le meilleur devant moi; |
| et le meilleur devant |
| et le meilleur… |
| (translation) |
| good, it was good |
| but it seems to me already far |
| 20 years everyone talks about it and remembers it |
| More or less good |
| yesterday was probably the transition to winter time, |
| that would require looking back, |
| or take stock, |
| but the years pass |
| time to be in his place |
| I have forty-something, |
| forty and dust and, |
| and still a long way to go, |
| if it's a shipwreck |
| that we cheat whatever the age, |
| I have forty and many |
| forty and dust |
| and the best before me; |
| hey, I'm talking about a before that I no longer need, |
| 30 years is nevertheless a number that we remember |
| why, for nothing, |
| to say, it's not so bad to get to say it, |
| that "I love you" doesn't make you want to run away |
| but to grow |
| but the years pass |
| time to be in his place |
| I have forty-something, |
| forty and dust and, |
| and still a long way to go, |
| if it's a shipwreck |
| that we cheat whatever the age, |
| I have forty and many |
| forty and dust |
| and the best before me; |
| and the best in front |
| and the best... |
