Avec le temps [English translation]

I have to take care of so many pains, wipe away so much resentment

Some die before their time, while my heart fades away

I must make up my mind to forgive, to keep myself from turning to the past

Just yesterday I was sitting on my mother's knees,

She was talking to me, I understood nothing, I was smiling all the same,

Today everything has changed, I grew up and now I'm just discovering life

At the beginning it was good, I was writing on the walls,

I was writing bits of phrases, I was basically writing my injuries,

At the beginning it was nothing but little poems, poems that all yelled, "Mama I love you!"

I have to take care of so many pains, wipe away so much resentment

Some die before their time, while my heart fades away

I must make up my mind to forgive, to keep myself from turning to the past

Now I seem to be headed towards the past,

To be lingering over things disinterestedly

I forget myself, I'm losing track, of life, of my life,

Today I have turned things around, I'm headed towards life

finally I'm headed towards my dreams,

And I insist, I feel like, succeding, flying away

I have to take care of so many pains, wipe away so much resentment

Some die before their time, while my heart fades away

I must make up my mind to forgive, to keep myself from turning to the past
