Je n'ai rien Appris [English translation]

When I saw the clouds

Drawing shadows on the leaves

I thought that shells

Were wandering in the sky

But today I know that they have

Nothing but snow and rain on their cotton

I've looked at them more than once

Gathering above me

I've looked at sky from both sides

From its days of glory, of truth

And it's so sad to think

That I've learnt nothing at all

I wanted to let my heart

To dance the happiness' dancing

I thought that love was born

In a fairy tale

But today I know that one must,

Often, get out of a very warm bed

Smiling, in order to hide

What one have given

I've looked at love from both sides

From its days of glory, of truth

And it's so sad to think

That I've learnt nothing at all

Realize each morning

That one hold the world in the hands

Full of pride and ambition

Friendship as a song

And then some indifferent friends

That tell you "You've changed"

And the wisdom that one've acquired

And what's lost

I've looked at life from both sides

From its days of glory, of truth

And it's so sad to think

That I've learnt nothing at all.
