Place des grands hommes [English translation]

We'd booked a rendez-vous after 10 years

Same time, same guys

We'll see when we are 30

On the steps of the place of great men

The day came and so did I

But I do not want to be the first

If we had nothing more to say and if and if

I make a detour in the area

It's amazing that a spring twilight

Recalls the same twilight there 10 years ago

Sidewalks worn by eyes downcast

What have I done all these years?

I hope I didn't just quietly float on water, did I?

I have not swum the wind on my back

Last turn to the right, then street Souflot

How will the 4,3,2,1 ... 0?

We'd booked a rendez-vous after 10 years

Same time, same guys

We'll see when we are 30

On the steps of the place of great men

I had so often envied her

Is that the beautiful Séverine looking at me?

Eric wanted to explore the subconscious

I suppose he rises to the surface from time to time

I am a bit afraid to cross the window

If I didn't go I couldn't be mistaken for someone else tonight

In front of a showcase of antiques

I imagine the reunion of friendship

"You haven't changed, how are you?

You're married, you have three kids

You have been successful, you are in medicine

And you Pascale, do you still always laugh for no reason?"

We'd booked a rendez-vous after 10 years

Same time, same guys

We'll see when we are 30

On the steps of the place of great men

I've had high tides and low tides

Like you, like you, and you?

I met the storms and gales

Like you, like you, and you?

Every love that has died makes place for new

And you and you and you

And you Marco who aspired simply to be happy in life

Have you managed your bet?

and you Francois, and you Laurence, and you Marion

And you Gégé...and you Bruno, and you Evelyne?

Well, it's fantastic friends!

Everything we ever said we'd do, we've actually set our hands on it

You can't lay 10 years on the table

Like spreading the letters of Scrabble

In the window I see the reflection

There is a high school student behind me

If she leaves, I will follow

If she turns to the right, wait for me!

Wait for me! Wait for me! Wait for me!

We'd booked a rendez-vous after 10 years

Same time, same guys

We'll see when we are 30

On the steps of the place of great men

Great men

Great men

Maybe we should have one more rendez-vous after ten years...
