Lyrics
J’avais imaginé
Qu’une allée suffirait
Pour te rencontrer.
Une allée ça suffit,
On laiss’rait sous la pluie
S’emmêler nos parapluies.
Sait-on jamais?
Une allée c’est étroit,
L’hiver il y fait froid,
Et il n’y passe jamais personne.
Pourtant chaque pas résonne.
Il n’y a que les aventuriers
Qui osent l’emprunter.
Sait-on jamais? Sait-on jamais?
Alors nous serions de ceux-là,
De ceux qui bravent le froid.
Quand on n’a plus personne,
On s’assure que le coeur raisonne.
Il n’y a que les chercheurs d’or,
Pour espérer encore.
Sait-on jamais? Sait-on jamais?
Sait-on jamais? Sait-on jamais?
Et je fais le pari:
Une allée ça suffit.
Pas besoin de trottoir,
D’av’nue, de boul’vard.
N’as-tu jamais songé
Qu’on pourrait s’y manquer?
Sait-on jamais? Siat-on jamais?
Sait-on jamais? Saitr-on jamais?

Lyrics translation
I had imagined
That an alley would suffice
To meet you.
One alley is enough,
We leave'rait in the rain
Tangle our umbrellas.
Do we ever know?
An alley is narrow,
Winter is cold,
And no one ever goes there.
Yet every step resonates.
There are only adventurers
Who dare to borrow it.
Do we ever know? Do we ever know?
Then we'd be one of those,
Of those who brave the cold.
When there's no one left,
We make sure the heart thinks.
There are only gold diggers,
To hope again.
Do we ever know? Do we ever know?
Do we ever know? Do we ever know?
And I make the bet:
One alley is enough.
No need for sidewalk,
From AV'nue, from boul'vard.
Have you ever thought
What could we miss?
Do we ever know? Are we ever?
Do we ever know? Do we ever know?
