On laisse tous un jour [English translation]

We leave all one day

A bit of our lives

On a table

At the bottom of a cafe

On a table

Which we never forget

We leave all one day

A few of our friends

All the poets come to warm up

On a bench at the corner of pub

We say " Hi! "

We command a bottle *

And recreate the world

But the world is too big

So we need all night

We leave all one day

A few our loves

That we doodle

On the paper tablecloth

And we crumple them

On an ashtray

She says " Hi! "

We command a bottle*

We promise her the world

But it takes all night

To give the world

We leave all one day

A bit of our lives

On a table

At the bottom of a cafe

On a table

Which we never forget

La la la la la la...

We leave all one day

A bit of our lives

On a table

At the bottom of a cafe

On a table

Which we never forget

La la la la la la...
