On savait [English translation]

We had long hair

We had baby teeth and yet

we knew, we knew that it wouldn’t last.

We chased butterflies

We asked plenty of questions

We knew, we knew

that it wouldn’t last.

We collected beads

We smelled like vanilla

We knew, we knew that it wouldn’t last.

We were always jealous

And we caught lice

We knew that it wouldn’t last.

Who could have told us?

Who could have written it to us?

Who had the solution?

To never grow up.

We lived in the clouds

Gathered savage thoughts

We knew, we knew that it wouldn’t last

We ran until we were parched

We made funny faces

We knew, we knew that it wouldn’t last

Who could have told us?

Who could have written it to us?

Who had the solution?

To never grow up.

Grow up...

We always wanted to be fast

Before we run off

We knew, we knew that it wouldn’t last

We had chickenpox

We were too cruel

We knew, we knew that it wouldn’t last

Who could have told us?

Who could have written it to us?

Who had the solution

To never grow up.
