| J’ai passé mon temps
| I spent my time
|
| A me dire
| To tell me
|
| Qu’il fallait du temps
| That it took time
|
| Pour grandir
| To grow
|
| Je n’ai pas vu le temps
| I didn't see the time
|
| A vrai dire
| As a matter of fact
|
| Passer en courant
| Run
|
| Sans rien dire
| Without saying anything
|
| Maintenant je crois qu’il est important
| Now I believe it's important
|
| De mentir autant qu’a menti le temps
| To lie as much as time has lied
|
| Lui dire que c’est moi qui dis en feintant
| Tell him I'm the one pretending
|
| Que, même à 100 ans, j’aurai toutes mes dents
| That, even at 100, I'll have all my teeth
|
| J’ai croisé pourtant
| However, I came across
|
| Un sourire
| A smile
|
| Qu’avait fait le temps
| What had time done
|
| D’un souv’nir
| From a memory
|
| Il y a fort longtemps
| A long time ago
|
| Sans se dire
| Without saying
|
| Qu’il dur’ait autant
| That it lasts as long
|
| Qu’un empire
| than an empire
|
| Maintenant, je crois qu’il est cependant
| Now I believe it is however
|
| Dur de se content-ter du mauvais temps !
| Hard to settle for bad weather!
|
| Lui dire que c’est moi qui décide à présent
| Tell him that it's me who decides now
|
| Que même à cent ans, j’aurai toutes mes dents
| That even at a hundred years old, I'll have all my teeth
|
| J’ai fini mon temps
| I have finished my time
|
| À mentir
| to lie
|
| À mentir au temps
| To lie to time
|
| Pour de rire
| For laughs
|
| Au temps qui pourtant
| At the time which however
|
| Sans rien dire
| Without saying anything
|
| N’a pas pris le temps d’un sourire
| Didn't take time for a smile
|
| Maintenant je crois qu’il est important
| Now I believe it's important
|
| De sourire autant qu’a menti le temps !
| To smile as much as time has lied!
|
| Lui dire que c’est moi qui dis en chantant
| Tell her it's me saying while singing
|
| Que, même à 100 ans, j’aurai toutes mes dents ! | That, even at 100 years old, I will have all my teeth! |
