These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Il a remisé ses playmobiles, petites voitures, super-héros
He stored his playmobiles, toy cars, superheroes
Devenu inutiles dans une chambre d'ado
Become useless in a teenager's room
Déjà il y a quelques années, il avait rangé ses doudous
Already a few years ago, he had put away his comforters
À l'époque où les jouets remplaçaient les joujoux
Back when toys replaced playthings
Ça m'avait bien déprimé de plus voir sa cabane en tissu
It really depressed me to see his fabric cabin
Le déguisement de Spider-Man qui ne lui allait plus
The Spider-Man costume that didn't fit him anymore
L'enfance est si courte, et dure si longtemps
Childhood is so short, and lasts so long
Si elle passe trop vite c'est surtout pour les parents
If it passes too quickly it is mainly for the parents
Tu quittes peu à peu ce monde encore si proche
You leave little by little this world still so close
Conserve autant qu'tu peux, un Lego dans la poche
Keep as much as you can, a Lego in your pocket
Il y a des paires de baskets, son trésor, sa fortune
There are pairs of sneakers, his treasure, his fortune
Si je trouve des cigarettes, c'est moi qui le fume
If I find cigarettes, I'm the one who smokes it
Des bandes dessinées et une colonne de mangas
Comics and manga column
Mais c'est plus pour décorer en souvenir d'autrefois
But it's more to decorate in memory of the past
J'ai pas dissimulé mon cafard, j'y suis pas parvenu
I didn't hide my blues, I didn't succeed
Quand j'ai vu ma guitare et plus la cabane en tissu
When I saw my guitar and no longer the fabric cabin
L'enfance est si courte, et dure si longtemps
Childhood is so short, and lasts so long
Si elle passe trop vite c'est surtout pour les parents
If it passes too quickly it is mainly for the parents
Tu quittes peu à peu ce monde encore si proche
You leave little by little this world still so close
Mais conserve autant qu'tu peux, un Lego dans la poche
But keep as much as you can, a Lego in your pocket
Cette chambre déboussolée abritera quelques temps
This disorientated room will shelter for a while
Des sentiments démesurés, secrets d'adolescents
Excessive feelings, adolescent secrets
Sa petite sœur pour me consoler, à juré sur la Reine des Neiges
Her little sister to comfort me, swore on the Snow Queen
Qu'elle conserverait ses poupées, sa dinette, ses coloriages
That she would keep her dolls, her dinette, her coloring pages
Les licornes n'existent pas, c'est une sirène qui me l'a dit
Unicorns don't exist, a mermaid told me
T'inquiète pas papa, la sirène a menti
Don't worry dad, the mermaid lied
L'enfance est si courte, et dure si longtemps
Childhood is so short, and lasts so long
Si elle passe trop vite c'est surtout pour les parents
If it passes too quickly it is mainly for the parents
Tu quittes peu à peu ce monde encore si proche
You leave little by little this world still so close
Conserve autant qu'tu peux, un Lego dans la poche
Keep as much as you can, a Lego in your pocket
Il m'a regardé avec la tendresse, d'un sourire qui réconforte
He looked at me with tenderness, with a comforting smile
Il m'a regardé avec tendresse en fermant sa porte
He looked at me tenderly as he closed his door
