We were wild kids
Breaking your teeth with rage
And wear out all the concrete in the neighborhood
We didn't need to be wise
A few valves as a sign of friendship
To fuck up on the beaches
And strasbourg as we imagined
And even though we've grown
We promised to stay dirty kids
And even though we've grown
We carry in us, our fractures and our bumps
We were ageless kids
We took some in the mouth of the hooks
As the birds pull themselves out of their cages
To finally become the ones we were
We were perfect to keep quiet
We hadn't learned to pretend
We all dreamed of crossing the border
And even though we've grown
We promised to stay dirty kids
And even though we've grown
We carry in us, our fractures and our bumps
As in the songs of Renaud
Why don't we jump into the puddles?
Why don't we play in the cul-de-sac?
Just to make fun
A few buddies, an old sound car
And we invite themselves to the journey
In Strasbourg or around the world
And even though we've grown
We promised to stay dirty kids
And even though we've grown
We carry in us, our fractures and our bumps
And even though we've grown
We promised to stay dirty kids
And even though we've grown
We carry in us, our fractures and our bumps
