T'as jamais eu mon âge
You've never been my age
T'as travaillé trop dur pour ça
You worked too hard for that
Toutes les heures du jour à l'usine
Every hour of the day at the factory
À l'entrée du village
At the entrance to the village
Le soir, deux jardins à la fois
In the evening, two gardens at a time
Et tout ça pour que tes enfants mangent
And all this so your kids can eat
Ça, je le sais bien, j'étais là
I know that, I was there
Ça en prenait du courage
It took courage
Pour se lever, à ces heures là
To get up, at those times
Bien avant, le jour de partir
Long before, the day to leave
Dans le pas d'éclairage
In the lighting step
À mains nues sur le guidon froid
With bare hands on the cold handlebars
Et tout ça pour que tes enfants dorment
And all this so your kids can sleep
Ça, je le sais bien, j'étais là
I know that, I was there
J'aurais voulu tе ressembler, jе le jure
I wish I'd looked like you, I swear
Mais voilà, il suffit pas de vouloir, c'était pas dans ma nature
But lo and behold, it's not enough to want, it was not in my nature
T'as vraiment dû t'interroger, je suis sûr
You really had to question yourself, I'm sure
Et un jour, j'ai croisé une guitare, j'ai vécu comme on s'amuse
And one day, I met a guitar, I lived as fun
T'avais les pieds sur terre
You had your feet on the ground
Et, j'étais tout le contraire
And, I was quite the opposite
Pa-la-pa-pa, pa-la-pa-pa-pa-pa-la-la
Pa-la-pa-pa, pa-la-pa-pa-pa-pa-la-la
Pa-la-pa-pa, pa-la-pa-pa-pa-pa-la-la
Pa-la-pa-pa, pa-la-pa-pa-pa-pa-la-la
On s'est pas dit 'je t'aime'
We didn't say 'I love you'
On s'est pas serré dans les bras
We didn't hug
Concernant l'amour, il fallait
As far as love was concerned, it was necessary
Tout deviner nous même
Guess everything ourselves
On nous laissait grandir comme ça
We were allowed to grow up like this
Et, tu vois on a grandi quand même
And, you see, we grew up anyway
Je le sais bien, j'étais là
I know it, I was there
D'avoir eu tant de chance
To have been so lucky
Quelques fois, je me sens fautif
Sometimes I feel at fault
Je regarde autour
I'm looking around
Ma maison est immense et mon jardin décoratif
My house is huge and my garden is decorative
Et, je sais depuis ton lointain au delà
And, I know from your far beyond
T'as gardé un œil sur moi
You kept an eye on me
J'aurais voulu te ressembler, je le jure
I wish I looked like you, I swear
Mais voilà, il suffit pas de vouloir, c'était pas dans ma nature
But lo and behold, it's not enough to want, it was not in my nature
T'as vraiment dû t'interroger, je suis sûr
You really had to question yourself, I'm sure
Et un jour, j'ai croisé une guitare, j'ai vécu comme on s'amuse
And one day, I met a guitar, I lived as fun
T'avais les pieds sur terre
You had your feet on the ground
Et, j'étais tout le contraire
And, I was quite the opposite
Pa-la-pa-pa, pa-la-pa-pa-pa-pa-la-la
Pa-la-pa-pa, pa-la-pa-pa-pa-pa-la-la
Tout le contraire
Quite the opposite
Pa-la-pa-pa, pa-la-pa-pa-pa-pa-la-la
Pa-la-pa-pa, pa-la-pa-pa-pa-pa-la-la
T'as jamais eu mon âge
You've never been my age
T'as travaillé trop dur pour ça
You worked too hard for that
T'as jamais eu mon âge
You've never been my age
T'as travaillé trop dur pour ça
You worked too hard for that
Pa-la-pa-pa, pa-la-pa-pa-pa-pa-la-la
Pa-la-pa-pa, pa-la-pa-pa-pa-pa-la-la
Pa-la-pa-pa, pa-la-pa-pa-pa-pa-la-la
Pa-la-pa-pa, pa-la-pa-pa-pa-pa-la-la
