J'ai eu moi aussi dix-sept ans
I too had seventeen years
Le monde n'était pas différent
The world was not different
Certains n'avaient rien à gagner
Some had nothing to win
Des places leur étaient réservées
Places were reserved for them
L'été ils avaient la villa
In summer they had the villa
L'auto que leur prêtait papa
The car that Papa lent them
Leur mère leur donnait plein d'argent
Their mother gave them full of money
Certains ont tout à dix-sept ans
Some are seventeen years old
Moi on ne me connaissait pas
I didn't know me
Les autres avaient tous un' vespa
The others all had a 'vespa
Quand j'allais
When I was going
Pour me baigner
To bathe me
Avec mon chien sur la jetée
With my dog ​​on the pier
Ils me poursuivaient en riant
They pursued me laughing
Je revenais les coudes en sang
I was back in blood
Le courage ça s'apprend
The courage is learned
A dix-sept ans
At seventeen
J'allais au collège français
I went to the French college
J'étais dans l'équipe de relais
I was in the relay team
Toujours le troisième coureur
Always the third runner
Je n'ai jamais reçu de fleurs
I never received flowers
Je détachais dans des revues
I detached in journals
Tout' celles qui étaient moitié nues
All 'those who were half naked
J'ai fait l'amour solitairement
I made love lonely
Où est la honte
Where is shame
A dix-sept ans
At seventeen
Dans les rues de la haute ville
In the streets of the high city
J'ai vu mon destin difficile
I saw my destiny difficult
Je devais
I had to
Pour arriver
To arrive
Serrer les poings bien des années
Tighten many years
Lançant des pierres contre le vent
Throwing stones against the wind
J'ai fait des rêves de géant
I had giant dreams
Je suis devenu fort
I became strong
A dix-sept ans
At seventeen
Alors la rage me prenait dans le cœur
So the rage took me in my heart
Et j'étais fils d'ambassadeur
And I was the son of an ambassador
J'inventais oui mais j'étais
I invented yes but I was
Bien reçu et considéré
Well received and considered
J'étais trahi en peu de temps
I was betrayed in a short time
Et l'on riait à mes dépens
And we laughed at my expense
Alors j'ai tout compris
So I understood everything
A dix-sept ans
At seventeen
J'ai eu moi aussi dix-sept ans
I too had seventeen years
Un' fille s'en souvient sûrement
A 'girl surely remembers
Sans me demander qui j'étais
Without asking me who I was
La première fois ell' m'a aimé
The first time Ell 'loved me
J'ai eu moi aussi dix-sept ans
I too had seventeen years
Mais qu'ils sont loin mes dix-sept ans
But that they are far away my seventeen
