Qui a tué Grand-Maman ? [English translation]

In Grandma's time, there were1

Flowers which grew in her garden

The time passed alone stays as thoughts

And in your hands there's nothing left

{Chorus}

Who killed Grandma, is it the time

Where men no longer have the time

To pass the time?

la la la la la la...

In Grandma's time, there was

Silence to listen to

The branches on the trees, the leaves on the branches

The birds on the leaves and they sang

{Chorus}

The bulldozer killed Grandma

and changed her flowers into jackhammers

The singing birds only find construction sites

Is that why we're crying for you?

{Chorus}

Who killed Grandma, is it the time

Where men no longer have the time

To pass the time?
