1987 Lyrics in English Calogero

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song 1987 by Calogero from French to English.
Do you remember?
The colors on our sneakers
The pencils in the tapes
I rewind, do you remember?
All those dreams packed in our diskettes
In Paris it was the States
1987
Chorus 1
Some days I hop back on my skateboard
And I go for a ride in 1987
Some days I dive right in
And I'm back in 1987
You know, from all those days there's nothing I regret
But sometimes I go back to 1987
In '87
Chorus 1
Do you remember?
Tracksuits and pompadours
Sabrina and 7 sur 7
In the kitchen it was nothing
But twelve months on the planet
The USSR, INXS
We were singing
Some days I hop back on my skateboard
And I go for a ride in 1987
Some days I dive right in
And I'm back in 1987
You know, from all those days there's nothing I regret
But sometimes I go back to 1987
In '87
Chorus 1
You'll see that someday a song in your head
You'll get your turn, your 1987
You'll see that someday a song in your head
You'll have your turn, your 1987
That's all I wish for you
You'll have your turn, your 1987
That's all I wish for you
You'll have your own 1987 someday
That's all I wish for you
You'll have your own 1987 someday
Do you remember?

SONG MEANING

Step onto a neon-lit time machine and roll back to 1987! In this upbeat ode to nostalgia, French singer-songwriter Calogero hops on his skateboard and glides through the sights, sounds, and pop-culture treasures of his teenage years. Think colorful sneakers, cassette tapes carefully rewound with pencils, floppy-disk dreams, and Paris that felt as glamorous as the United States. The lyrics name-drop tracksuits, gravity-defying haircuts, TV show 7 sur 7, pop star Sabrina, and bands like INXS, all while the USSR still loomed on the map. Every detail paints the rush of adolescence when every song on the radio felt like a personal anthem and the future seemed infinite.

Calogero’s message is joyful and universal: he has no regrets about those days, but every so often he loves to revisit them in his mind. He wishes the same for the listener, inviting you to discover your own “1987” — that magical year that will one day play on repeat in your head. Whether you were alive in the eighties or not, the song reminds us that music is a portal to our most vivid memories, and that everyone deserves a soundtrack that instantly transports them back to their brightest moments.
