On the streaming windowpane

The earth seems so beautiful to me

I give this storm to the desert

The eternal snows over Cairo

I offer the Gardens of Babylon

To the boy who makes my heart shiver

Don't grow up too fast and wait for me

I know someday you'll come to me

There's not only adults who dream

There's not only adults who have feelings

I'd like him to kiss me on the lips

Not like a child

There's not only adults who dream

There's not only adults who have feelings

It's like a childhood ending

In an ocean

He teaches me the names of the stars

High up above the cathedrals

He plays the music of hope

His piano cries ivory tears

I feel the caress on my wrist

Of the Brazilian bracelet he gave me

Saying, 'When it breaks

Then your dream will come true'

There's not only adults who dream

There's not only adults who have feelings

I'd like him to kiss me on the lips

Not like a child

There's not only adults who dream

There's not only adults who have feelings

It's like a childhood ending

In an ocean

And I'm waiting for you

There's not only adults who dream

There's not only adults who have feelings

I'd like him to kiss me on the lips

Not like a child

There's not only adults who dream

There's not only adults who have feelings

It's like a childhood ending

In an ocean

There's not only adults who dream

There's not only adults who have feelings

It's like a childhood ending

In an ocean

SONG MEANING

Picture a young girl with her nose pressed against a rain-streaked window, daydreaming so vividly that she can drape Cairo in snow, gift Babylon’s hanging gardens, and toss a thunderstorm into the desert. Melody’s Y'a Pas Que Les Grands Qui Rêvent turns these playful images into a declaration: children feel the full spectrum of wonder and longing, too. Our narrator’s heart flutters for an older boy who teaches her the names of stars and gives her a Brazilian friendship bracelet that promises her wish will come true when it snaps.

The chorus repeats the anthem-like truth that dreams and deep emotions are not reserved for grown-ups. Caught between childhood and adolescence, she yearns for a first real kiss and senses that her innocence is about to wash away "in an ocean" of new feelings. The song celebrates that magical threshold where imagination, hope, and first love collide—reminding every listener that no matter their age, their dreams are valid and powerful.
