Lyrics
En regardant le mur de la prison d’en face
J’entends tous les ragots et les bruits des autos
Boulevard Arago qui passent
Sur les toits des maisons qui servent d’horizon
Un bout de la tour Montparnasse.
L’hiver, on voit les gens dans les maisons d’en face
L’t, les marronniers les cachent aux prisonniers
Et les bruits du quartier s’effacent.
Quand l’cole a ferm, combien ont d penser
Au jour de la rentre des classes.
En regardant le mur, j’imagine sa place
Les grillages ouvrags d’un parc abandonn
Explosant de rosiers, d’espace
Les grillages ouvrags d’un parc abandonn
O les arbres emmls s’enlacent.
En regardant le mur de la prison d’en face
Le cњur un peu serr d’tre du bon ct Du ct des autos, je passe
Et du toit des maisons qui ferment l’horizon
Un morceau de la Tour dpasse.
Lyrics translation
Looking at the prison wall across the street
I hear all the gossip and noises from the cars
Boulevard Arago that pass
On the roofs of houses that serve as a horizon
One end of the Montparnasse Tower.
In winter, we see people in the houses across the street
The t, the chestnut trees hide them from the prisoners
And the noise from the neighborhood is fading.
When the cole has closed, how many have d think
On the day of homecoming.
Looking at the wall, I imagine its place
The workings of an abandoned park
Exploding roses, space
The workings of an abandoned park
O emmls trees intertwine.
Looking at the prison wall across the street
The heart a little tight of the good ct of the ct of cars, I pass
And the roof of houses that close the horizon
A piece of the tower dpasse.
