L'horloge tourne [English translation]

I've just received an SMS, I'm 18,

Goodbye to my virginity, I'm not a kid anymore.

The clock is ticking, minutes are scorching

And I wish I could make time go by faster.

Dam dam déo oh oh oh, dam dam déo oh oh oh oh.

I've just received an SMS, I'm 20,

We did it without protection, but I don't want a child,

The clock is ticking, infanticide minutes

And I wish I could go back in time.

Dam dam déo oh oh oh, dam dam déo oh oh oh oh.

I've just received an SMS, I'm 21,

9 months have passed and no children yet.

The clock is ticking, minutes cheer up

And I'm dreaming, easy in my mind, taking my time.

Dam dam déo oh oh oh, dam dam déo oh oh oh oh.

I've just received an SMS, I'm 25,

A tsunami has taken everything away, even the childish games,

The clock is ticking, minutes are sour

And I'm dreaming that the bad weather is over

Dam dam déo oh oh oh, dam dam déo oh oh oh oh.

I've just received an SMS, I'm 28,

Granny is quite tired and I'm not a kid anymore,

The clock is ticking but her heart is suiciding

And I'm dreaming, dreaming about the good old days

Dam dam déo oh oh oh, dam dam déo oh oh oh oh.

Dam dam déo oh oh oh, dam dam déo oh oh oh oh.

I'm gonna receive an SMS, I'm gonna turn 30,

30 years of freedom and suddenly I take stock of my life,

The clock is ticking, minutes are wrinkles

And I'm wishing, wishing I could stop time

Dam dam déo oh oh oh, dam dam déo oh oh oh oh.

Dam dam déo oh oh oh, dam dam déo oh oh oh oh.

Dam dam déo oh oh oh, dam dam déo oh oh oh oh.
