These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
J'ai dépensé ma jeunesse comme une poignée de monnaie
I spent my youth like a handful of change
J'ai fait un peu de tout, un peu partout, sans savoir rien faire
I've done a little bit of everything, all over the place, without knowing how to do anything
La fleur aux dents, c'était tout ce que j'avais
The flower with teeth was all I had
Mais je savais bien que toutes les femmes du monde m'attendaient
But I knew that all the women in the world were waiting for me
Il y a des filles dont on rêve
There are girls we dream of
Et celles avec qui l'on dort
And the ones you sleep with
Il y a des filles qu'on regrette
There are girls we regret
Et celles qui laissent des remords
And those who leave remorse
Il y a des filles que l'on aime
There are girls we love
Et celles qu'on aurait pu aimer
And the ones we could have loved
Puis un jour il y a la femme
Then one day there's the woman
Qu'on attendait
What we've been waiting for
J'ai connu des lits de camp bien plus doux qu'un oreiller
I've known camp beds much softer than a pillow
Et des festins de roi sur le zinc d'un buffet de gare
And king feasts on the zinc of a station buffet
J'ai connu bien des gens, je les ai tous bien aimés
I've known a lot of people, I've all liked them
Mais dans leur visages au fond je n'ai rien fait que te chercher
But in their faces deep down I did nothing but look for you
Il y a des filles dont on rêve
There are girls we dream of
Et celles avec qui l'on dort
And the ones you sleep with
Il y a des filles qu'on regrette
There are girls we regret
Et celles qui laissent des remords
And those who leave remorse
Il y a des filles que l'on aime
There are girls we love
Et celles qu'on aurait pu aimer
And the ones we could have loved
Puis un jour il y a la femme
Then one day there's the woman
Qu'on attendait
What we've been waiting for
Un jour ici, l'autre là, un jour riche et l'autre pas
One day here, the other there, one day rich and the other not
J'avais faim de tout voir, de tout savoir, j'avais tellement à faire
I was hungry to see everything, to know everything, I had so much to do
A me tromper de chemin tant de fois
To go the wrong way so many times
J'ai quand même fini par trouver celui qui mène à toi
I still ended up finding the one that leads to you
Il y a des filles dont on rêve
There are girls we dream of
Et celles avec qui l'on dort
And the ones you sleep with
Il y a des filles qu'on regrette
There are girls we regret
Et celles qui laissent des remords
And those who leave remorse
Il y a des filles que l'on aime
There are girls we love
Et celles qu'on aurait pu aimer
And the ones we could have loved
Puis un jour il y a la femme
Then one day there's the woman
Qu'on attendait
What we've been waiting for
