I didn’t see the time pass by
Time doesn’t wait for us
Insolent like a kite
We slip between its fingers
I always looked ahead
Without ever turning around
I had so much love to give
And the world was so big, so big
In my childlike eyes
I’ve reached the middle of my life
How do I take the turning point
When all the summits are conquered
What will be the other slope
One day I’ll leave calmly
In my island under the wind
To see the spinning of time that spins
So soft, so soft, so softly
I don’t see life as I did before
When everything seemed so easy
To see a child grow up
It’s so strong and so fragile
I always looked ahead
Without ever turning around
I had so much love to give
And the world was so big
So much love, so much love
In my childlike heart
I didn’t see the time pass by
