Lyrics
Il avait presque vingt ans.
Fallait, fallait voir
Sa gueule: c'était bouleversant.
Fallait voir pour croire,
A l’abri du grand soleil.
Je l’avais pas vu venir.
Ce gosse, c'était une merveille
De le voir sourire.
Voilà que, timidement,
Le Jésus me parle
De tout, de rien, de sa maman.
Tu parles, tu parles.
J’aime beaucoup les enfants.
J’ai l’esprit de famille
Mais j’ai dépassé le temps
De jouer aux billes.
Il avait presque vingt ans
Et la peau si douce.
J’ai cueilli du bout des dents
La fleur de sa bouche
Et j’ai feuilleté pour lui
Un livre d’images
Qu'était pas du tout écrit
Pour les enfants sages.
Tant de jours et tant de nuits.
Donne, mais je te donne,
Lui pour moi, et moi pour lui
Et nous pour personne
Mais il fallait bien qu’un jour,
Je perde mes charmes.
Devant son premier amour,
J’ai posé les armes.
Elle avait presque vingt ans.
Fallait, fallait voir
Sa gueule: c'était bouleversant.
Fallait voir pour croire
Ils avaient tous deux vingt ans
Vingt ans, le bel âge…
Lyrics translation
He was almost twenty years old.
Had to, had to see
His mouth: it was upsetting.
You had to see to believe,
Sheltered from the great sun.
I didn't see it coming.
That kid was a wonder.
To see him smile.
Now that, timidly,
The Jesus speaks to me
Everything, nothing, his mom.
You talk, you talk.
I love children very much.
I have a family spirit
But I have exceeded time
Playing balls.
He was almost twenty years old
And the skin so soft.
I plucked the tips of my teeth
The flower of his mouth
And I flipped through it for him
A picture book
That was not written at all
For Wise Children.
So many days and so many nights.
Give, but I'll give you,
Him for me, and I for him
And we for no one
But it had to be one day,
I'm losing my charms.
Before her first love,
I put down the weapons.
She was almost twenty years old.
Had to, had to see
His mouth: it was upsetting.
You had to see to believe
They were both twenty years old
Twenty years, the beautiful age…
