Et j'écoutais longtemps couler l'eau des fontaines
And I listened for a long time to the water flowing from the fountains
Et j'écoutais le vent chanter infiniment
And I listened to the wind sing endlessly
Vagues de quiétude et de paix
Waves of tranquility and peace
D'aussi loin que je me souvienne
As far as I can remember
L'enfance est un immense océan
Childhood is a huge ocean
Et je rêvais longues années, longue indolence
And I dreamed of long years, long indolence
Où rien ne se passe mais où rien ne s'oublie
Where nothing happens but nothing is forgotten
J'allais sereine et sans connaître
I went serene and without knowing
Le moindre feu d'une absence
The slightest fire of an absence
Ce n'est qu'en te croisant
It's only by meeting you
Que j'ai su, j'ai compris
That I knew, I understood
J'attendais, j'attendais
I was waiting, I was waiting
J'attendais ton regard pour expliquer enfin
I was waiting for your look to finally explain
Le pourquoi de ces au revoir

À tout ce long chemin

Le pays de ton corps le toucher de tes mains

Ma douce boussole mon nord

Le sens à mes demains

Et j'abordais les troubles rives adolescentes
And I approached the teenage shores troubles
Les doutes, les jeux, les mauvais courants

Je me souviens les coups de sang

Des musiques et des mots de France
