Le temps des yoyos [English translation]

The time of the yoyos

Is out of tune

I put my banjo

To the time of the yé-yés

The time of the yoyos

It was quite slow 1

It’s a little faster 2

The time of the yé-yés

If I need to silence

My melancholy

Why make of it

A malady

The time of the yo-yos

Turns its pages

Here we are on the other side

The time of the yé-yés

In the time of the yoyos

I loved you already

I love you still as

Much and you know it

The time of the yoyos

Will have cradled us

Here we are at the cradle

The time of the yé-yés

But if everything changes

I haven’t changed

And in exchange

I’ve found you again

From the time of the yoyos

I recognise you

Coming incognito

To the time of the yé-yés
