The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Quand" by Benoît Doremus.

Lyrics

Quand
Je serai un vieux croulant
Qui parle toujours en Francs
Et qu’on n'écoute pas
Quand
Je serai le dernier du clan
Qui sait ce qui l’attend
Mais qui n’en parle pas
Quand
Mon sourire à trois dents
Fera peur aux enfants
Je rirai aux éclats
Quand
J’aurai pris les devants
Pensé au fil des ans
Au type qui disait ça
Vis ce que tu n’oublieras pas
Oublie ce que tu ne vivras pas
Quand
On me parlera en criant
Quand je saurai plus vraiment
Quoi faire de mes dix doigts
Quand
J’emmêlerai le temps
Les jours se ressemblant
Mais ne se suivant pas
Quand
J’en saurai en partant
Autant qu’en arrivant
Je serai comme un roi
Tant
Que j’aurai pris les devants
Pensé suffisamment
Au type qui disait ça
Vis ce que tu n’oublieras pas
Oublie ce que tu ne vivras pas
(Merci à Marjorie pour cettes paroles)

Lyrics translation

When
I'll be a crumbling old man
Who always speaks in Francs
And that we don't listen
When
I'll be the last of the clan
Who knows what awaits him
But who doesn't talk about it
When
My three-toothed smile
Will scare children
I'll laugh to the brim
When
I would have taken the lead
Thought over the years
To the guy who said that
Live what you won't forget
Forget what you won't live
When
They'll talk to me screaming
When I really know more
What to do with my ten fingers
When
I'll tangle time
The days resembling each other
But do not follow
When
I'll know when I leave.
As much as arriving
I'll be like a king
As
That I would have taken the lead
Thought enough
To the guy who said that
Live what you won't forget
Forget what you won't live
(Thanks to Marjorie for these words)
