Un jour viendra le corps tassé
A day will come the packed body
Les parchemins sur nos visages
The scrolls on our faces
Ceux qui racontent la vie passée
Those who tell past life
Tous les succès et les naufrages
All successes and shipwrecks
Et nos mains qui tremblent au vent
And our hands that tremble in the wind
Comme des biguines aux pas légers
Like Biguines with light steps
Continueront de battre le temps
Will continue to beat time
Sous des soleils endimanchés
Under endimanized suns
Un jour viendra, on fera vieux os
A day will come, we will be old bones
Des bégonias sur le balcon
Bégonias on the balcony
Un petit air de calypso
A little Calypso air
Photos sépias dans le salon
Sepia photos in the living room
Malgré la vie le temps passé
Despite life spending time
Malgré la jeunesse fatiguée
Despite the tired youth
Personne ne pourra empêcher
No one can prevent
Nos corps usés de chalouper
Our worn bodies to hill
Chalouper, chalouper
Bequeath, bequeath
Chalouper, chalouper
Bequeath, bequeath
Chalouper, chalouper
Bequeath, bequeath
Avant qu'le printemps s'fasse automne
Before the spring is fall
Que l'on s'éloigne de la rive
That we move away from the shore
On scratchera du gramophone
We will scratch gramophone
Quelques ritournelles caraïbes
Some Caribbean refrain
On s'épuisera sur le dancefloor
We will exhaust ourselves on the dancefloor
En de petits pas économes
In small economical steps
Tant que sera levé le store
As long as the blind is lifted
Nos palpitants s'ront métronomes
Our exciting will be metronomers
Elles me reviennent les années folles
They come back to me the crazy years
Quand on mourrait seulement de rire
When we only die from laughing
Rappelle-toi du Malecón
Remember Malecón
Le clapotis de nos souvenirs
The lapping of our memories
Un jour viendra cette ritournelle
One day will come this refrain
Quand ma voix se s'ra envolée
When my voice will flee
Je te supplie en souvenir d'elle
I beg you in memory of her
De continuer à chalouper
To continue to houtle
Chalouper, chalouper
Bequeath, bequeath
Chalouper, chalouper
Bequeath, bequeath
Chalouper, chalouper
Bequeath, bequeath
Outro
Fais-moi tourner sous mes pas
Turn me under my steps
Glissent les années, toi et moi
Slide the years, you and me
Jusqu'au bout d'aimer, on pourra
Until the end of loving, we can
Chalouper, chalouper, chalouper
Bequeath, bequeath, bequeath
Fais-moi tourner sous mes pas
Turn me under my steps
Glissent les années, toi et moi
Slide the years, you and me
Jusqu'au bout d'aimer, on pourra
Until the end of loving, we can
Chalouper, chalouper, chalouper
Bequeath, bequeath, bequeath
