Entre les fauteuils du 15, rue de bretagne
Between the armchairs at 15 rue de Bretagne
Et les rocking-chairs de la maison de campagne
And the rocking-chairs of the country house
On balançait
We were swinging
Notre vie douillette, sans surprise et sans un
Our life cozy, unsurprisingly and without a
Pain quotidien de nos dix ans de bonheur
Daily bread of our ten years of happiness
Au bonheur près j'étais bien protégé
To happiness I was well protected
Dans le film à tiroir de ma vie bien rangée
In the drawer film of my tidy life
Avec les samedi soir pour changer
With Saturday nights for a change
Pour changer de quoi toi et moi
To change what you and I
Moi et toi, femme et mère à la fois
Me and you, wife and mother at the same time
J'ai craqué, j'ai craqué
I cracked, I cracked
J'attendais ta fête pour t'apporter des fleurs
I was waiting for your party to bring you flowers
Je ne chantais plus, j'avais des pantoufles au coeur
I wasn't singing anymore, I had slippers in my heart
Je m'endormais
I fell asleep
Tu savais quand je disais: 'devine où on part?'
You knew when I was saying, 'Guess where we're going?'
Tu riais avant que j'ai fini mes histoires
You were laughing before I finished my stories
Et même après tu m'avais tellement dit
And even after you had told me so much
Que je n'étais qu'un gosse, un gamin
That I was just a kid, a kid
Étourdi, que je m'imaginais tout petit
Stunned, that I imagined myself as a child
Et puis d'un seul coup j'ai grandi
And then all of a sudden I grew up
Et j'ai coupé le fil du passé
And I cut the thread of the past
J'ai craqué, j'ai craqué
I cracked, I cracked
Je ne sais pas où mais je m'en vais droit devant
I don't know where but I'm going straight ahead
Meme si l'allumette n'a craqué que le temps
Even if the match only cracked time
D'une étincelle
A spark
Je m'en contrefous si ça permet de rêver
I don't care if it makes you dream
De faire un détour loin des chemins programmés
To make a detour away from the planned paths
Toujours pareils et le vent de folie
Always the same and the wind of madness
Qui fait tourner si fort le moulin de ma vie
Who makes the mill of my life spin so hard
Qu'importe s'il s'arrête aujourd'hui
It doesn't matter if it stops today
Puisque celle qui lui a dit de souffler
Since the one who told him to blow
Reste et me donne envie de craquer
Stay and make me want to crack
J'ai craqué, j'ai craqué
I cracked, I cracked
