Dans le jardin de mon enfance
In the garden of my childhood
Entre les arbres et la violence
Between the trees and the violence
J'ai retrouvé ce qui calmait mon cœur
I found what soothed my heart
Les fraises, l'odeur des vacances
The strawberries, the scent of vacations
Entre les drames et l'insouciance
Between the dramas and the carefree
Les escaliers qui supportaient mes peurs
The stairs that carried my fears
Pourquoi j'y pense encore?
Why do I still think about it?
Y a quoi de mieux avant?
What was better back then?
À part les rires en farandole
Aside from laughter in a dance
À part l'été qui me console
Aside from the summer that comforts me
Qu'est-ce qui me manque tant?
What am I missing so much?
Pourquoi j'y pense encore autant?
Why do I still think about it so much?
Y a quoi de mieux avant?
What was better back then?
Sur les toits du sud de la France
On the rooftops of southern France
Quand le vent et l'eau se mélangent
When the wind and water blend together
Là sur les lèvres de ceux qui parlent fort
There on the lips of those who speak loudly
Leurs voix, leurs lois me dérangent
Their voices, their laws disturb me
Il revient toujours ce même goût de rance
That same stale taste always returns
Du temps des rêves qui jouaient avec la mort
From the days when dreams danced with death
Pourquoi j'y pense encore?
Why do I still think about it?
Y a quoi de mieux avant?
What was better before?
À part les rires en farandole
Besides the laughter in a circle
À part l'été qui me console
Besides the summer that comforts me
Qu'est-ce qui me manque tant?
What do I miss so much?
Pourquoi j'y pense encore autant?
Why do I still think about it so much?
Y a quoi de mieux avant?
What was better before?
Je me souviens de tout
I remember everything
Je me souviens de tout
I remember everything
Je me souviens de tout
I remember everything
Je me souviens
I remember
Umm, oh-oh, oh-oh
Umm, oh-oh, oh-oh
Umm, oh-oh, oh-oh
Umm, oh-oh, oh-oh
J'n'en peux plus, oh Jack
I can't take it anymore, oh Jack
