Lyrics
Maman me disait souvent:
L’amour ne dure qu’un moment
La neige sur tous les toits,
Un beau matin, s’en ira
Mon père me disait souvent:
La vie ne dure qu’un temps
Surtout méfie-toi des fous,
Il y en a un peu partout
Mais moi, ma mère, je ne la connais pas
Quant à mon père, il est bien loin de moi
Mon frère me disait souvent:
A l’avenir, sois méfiant
Les amis n’existent pas
Mais je n'écoutais que moi
Car moi, mon frère, je ne le connais pas
Quant aux amis, ils sont bien loin de moi
Et les Noëls, je ne les connais pas
J’espère qu’un jour mon enfant me dira:
Mmm mmm mmm…
Lyrics translation
Mom often told me:
Love lasts only a moment
Snow on all roofs,
One fine morning, leave
My father often told me:
Life only lasts a while
Especially beware of Fools,
There are a few everywhere
But I, my mother, don't know her.
As for my father, he is far from me
My brother often told me:
In the future, be wary
Friends don't exist
But I only listened to myself
Because I, my brother, don't know him
As for friends, they are far from me
And I don't know Christmas.
I hope one day my child will tell me:
Mmm mmm mmm…
