Le monde moderne [English translation]

Between Christmas and New Year's Day

On the childrens' station platforms

Which pass from dad to mum

The satchel and the toothbrush

The bedtime stories have changed

No more princesses to be freed

I have two dads and two mums

But I am still a child

It's the modern world

But the people are the same

There are joys and pains

There are bleeding hearts

The songs are the same

There are people in love

In the modern world

It's the modern world

And me, I am the same

I have joys and pains

I have my bleeding heart

But for me it's the same

You left anyway

In the modern world

On the packed beaches in summer

The families are back together

There is the woman I once loved

And the one who took her from me

We would never have imagined

That one day we would forgive him

But we come to terms with it in time

When we see the childrens' joy

It's the modern world

But the people are the same

There are joys and pains

There are bleeding hearts

The songs are the same

There are people in love

In the modern world

It's the modern world

And me, I am the same

I have joys and pains

There's my bleeding heart

But for me it's the same

I loved you anyway

In the modern world

It's the modern world

And me, I am the same

I have joys and pains

There's my bleeding heart

But for me it's the same

I loved you anyway

In the modern world
