L'enfant que j'étais [English translation]

The child that I was, where does she play today?

The flowers that I used to love, who picked them for me?

My heart, do you remember the white dresses?

On the lost way of our Sundays

Words to sing a friend's face

Nights to dream I was rich

When the heart on the watch, the straggling lock

Goes to school, the child that I was.

Winter time, wrinkle takes you

Love time, and we're growing

Much water had flowed under the bridge

Forgotten dreams with the passing seasons

A smile time and we are in love

Time to lie and yet we are old

The child that I was, where is he straying?

The flowers I used to love, who had made them fake?

My heart, do you remember our promises?

Life didn't want your tenderness

Words to love, hopes and nights.

Golden lies, I was so rich

When the heart on the watch, love in head

Going to the fair, the child that I was.
