Va, va, va
Go, go, go
Va, va, va
Go, go, go
Où tu veux
Wherever you want
Il est grand temps
It's high time
Allez va t'en
Come on, get out
Va au diable et adieu
Go to hell and goodbye
Va, va, va
Go, go, go
Va, va, va
Go, go, go
Dépêche-toi
Hurry up
Tu n'as plus 20 ans
You're not 20 anymore
Et dans peu de temps
And in a little while
Tu ne seras plus toi
You won't be yourself anymore
Je te fais le cadeau d'un vrai certificat
I gift you a genuine certificate
Au combat de l'amour tu étais bon soldat
In the battle of love, you were a brave soldier
Tu me laisses aux rideaux l'odeur de tes cigares
You leave me with the scent of your cigars on the curtains
Et une photo de toi collée dans un placard
And a photo of you stuck in a closet
Va, va, va
Go, go, go
Va, va, va
Go, go, go
Sois heureux
Be happy
De mon côté
On my side
Je vais chercher
I'm going to try
À t'oublier un peu
To forget you a little
Va, va, va
Go, go, go
Va, va, va
Go, go, go
T'en fais pas
Don't worry
J'ai plus 20 ans
I'm not 20 anymore
Mais dans mon sang
But in my blood
T'en fais pas y a de quoi
Don't worry, there's enough reason
Je vais pouvoir enfin sortir après minuit
I'm finally going to be able to go out after midnight
Et faire n'importe quoi et voir n'importe qui
And do anything and see anyone
Allez aux Caraïbes, à Santa Monica
Go to the Caribbean, to Santa Monica
Et même à Katmandou quand le cœur m'en dira
And even to Kathmandu when my heart tells me to
Va, va, va
Go, go, go
Va, va, va
Go, go, go
Pense à moi
Think of me
Au grand carrefour
At the great crossroads
Des souvenirs
Of memories
Je te donne rendez vous
I’ll meet you there
Fume pas trop
Don’t smoke too much
Bois pas trop
Don’t drink too much
Ha, ha, ha
Et si un jour
And if one day
Tu veux revenir
You want to come back
Je t'attendrais chez nous
I'll be waiting for you at home
Va, va, va
Go, go, go
Va, va, va
Go, go, go
Où tu veux
Wherever you want
Il est grand temps
It's high time
Allez va t'en
Come on, go away
Va au diable et adieu
Go to hell and goodbye
