Eh, yeah, yeah
Eh, yes, yes
Je nous voit encore tous à la maison
I can still see us all at home
Maman dans la cuisine, ah, ça sent trop bon
Mom in the kitchen, ah, it smells so good
On avait nos habitudes, malheureusement
We had our habits, unfortunately
Quand on grandi on perd tout avec le temps
When you grow up, you lose everything over time
Mais j'me souviens encore de tous ces appels
But I still remember all those calls
Par la fenêtre ah ouais ça m'prenait la tête
Through the window oh yes it was getting my head
J'essayais de gratter quelques minutes mais impossible
I tried to scratch for a few minutes but impossible
Elle m'défonçait si je manquais à l'appel
She would beat me up if I missed
J'restais pas si la nuit tombé, orh, surtout faut pas
I didn't stay if the night fell, orh, don't
Et pour passer à table on attend papa
And to sit down to eat we wait for dad
J'allais à l'école cartable qui roule
I went to school with a school bag on the road
À cette époque on peut dire qu'il y a tout qui roule
At that time we can say that everything was running
J'me souviens de mes années collège
I remember my college years
Pas un stylo dans le sac à dos mais tous mes rêves
Not a pen in the backpack but all my dreams
Tout ce que j'ai pas fait
Everything I didn't do
Les quatre cents coups, j'crois que c'est pas assez
The four hundred blows, I don't think it's enough
Avant c'était mieux c'était le bon vieux temps
Before it was better, it was the good old days
On s'posait jamais de question
We never asked ourselves any questions
Avant c'était mieux, on était toujours content
Before it was better, we were always happy
Et il y avait toujours d'l'ambiance
And there was always a great atmosphere
Avant c'était mieux, quand j'repense à mes vacances
Before it was better, when I think back to my holidays
J'me refais toute mon enfance
I rebuild my whole childhood
Avant c'était mieux, ah
Before it was better, ah
Avant c'était mieux
Before it was better
Moi, les bagarres j'les évitais pas
I didn't avoid fights
À cette époque j'peux te dire qu'y a rien qui va
At that time I can tell you that nothing is right
J'avais qu'un mot d'ordre 'me cherche pas'
I had only one watchword 'don't look for me'
Les CPE faisaient que d'appeler mama
The CPEs just called mama
Et j'ai séché les cours, 'me mangeais des coups
And I skipped class, 'ate myself
Mais c'était passé, rebelote tous les jours
But it was over, every day
J'essayais de me rebeller, mais c'était mauvaise idée
I was trying to rebel, but it was a bad idea
J'disais tout, tout, tout, sauf la vérité
I said everything, everything, everything, except the truth
J'calmais les tensions avec des petites blagues
I calmed the tensions with little jokes
Faut s'l'avouer j'ai toujours été drôle
I have to admit it, I've always been funny
Et pour sortir j'devais faire le ménage
And to go out I had to clean
La bouffe, la vaisselle, c'était à tour de rôle
The food, the dishes, it was in turn
J'pensais qu'j'étais pas libre
I thought I wasn't free
Mais c'était vraiment ça de vivre
But that's really what living was all about
Aujourd'hui j'me rends compte que c'était le plus beau chapitre du livre
Today I realize that it was the most beautiful chapter of the book
Ah, tout c'que j'ai pas fait
Ah, everything I haven't done
Les quatre cents coups, j'crois qu'c'est pas assez
The four hundred blows, I don't think it's enough
Avant c'était mieux c'était le bon vieux temps
Before it was better, it was the good old days
On s'posait jamais de question
We never asked ourselves any questions
Avant c'était mieux, on était toujours content
Before it was better, we were always happy
Et il y avait toujours d'l'ambiance
And there was always a great atmosphere
Avant c'était mieux, quand j'repense à mes vacances
Before it was better, when I think back to my holidays
J'me refais toute mon enfance
I rebuild my whole childhood
Avant c'était mieux, ouais
Before it was better, yes
Avant c'était mieux, anh, ouais
Before it was better, anh, yes
Avant c'était mieux
before it was better
Avoue qu'c'était mieux
admits that it was better
C'est vrai qu'c'était mieux
It's true that it was better
Avoue qu'c'était mieux
admits that it was better
Hihihi, hahaha
Hihihi, hahaha
Maman, j'arrive
Mom, I'm coming
