Le temps qui court [English translation]

And finally, after so many years,

Men have replaced your dolls

And the gladioli placed in your room

Now replace the flowers from the field

(Chorus)

And time is racing, racing, making us serious

Life has made us prouder

Because time is racing, racing, replacing pleasures

And the lack of love is making us older

For a while now, my plastic cars

Have become real

And finally, business and money

Have replaced my old toys

(Chorus)

And time is racing, racing, making us serious

Life has made us prouder

Because time is racing, racing, replacing pleasures

And the lack of love is making us older

Because time is racing, racing, replacing pleasures

And the lack of love is making us older

Because time is racing, racing, replacing pleasures

And the lack of love is making us older (x2)
