It was under the yard of the college,
The first time that we touched each other's lips.
Since my eyes were singing, "Don't Leave me," by Brel, to you
I remember, we spoke to each other in poems
We spent sleepless nights getting into debt at the SFR
We repainted the world with the brush of our utopia
We told each other about our lives as if in therapy
We dreamed of a large family beside the sea,
Of a big ceremony after the "Yes" in front of the mayor
It was us against the world and that's what happened
Worse, when my epidermis made you an orphan*
We promised each other that we'd travel on the back of an elephant
Travel across the oceans, to end up on an island
You dreamed of being a nurse and I dreamed of being a lawyer
We're that our kids would have the Baraka
We believed that our love would protect us from everything
But a couple's life doesn't the stay the same after "I love you"
We believed that love would be enough
We believed that love would save us
We believed that love would protect us
But life and time stole our dreams
Six years later and I feel that the clouds only rained on our heads
Security guard, it's not enough to pay our debts
Maid, it's not enough to fill the plates
Of these jewels who never asked to be born
Tell me what my exam results are useful for?
What will happen to the honest man when you couldn't put shelter over the people who you love
Tell me, I'm losing my mind, help me
Because our problems are making me love the bottle
Help me
More and more it's making my youth go away
The years changed us and routine stole our promises away
In the family nest, we beat the wings and we spit
Out the names of birds with the force as strong as mouthpieces
Despite that, I know your feelings for me
However, today we talk about what happened to our lawyers
We believed that love would protect us from everything
But the life of a couple doesn't stay the same after "I love you."
We believed that love would be enough
We believed that love would save us
We believed that love would protect us
But life and time stole our dreams
And if someone told me one day we'd arrive her
I wouldn't have believed them
Us, who were so that we ended up here
What happened to us?
We believed that love would be enough
(We believed that love would be enough)
We believed that love would save us
(We believed that love would save us)
We believed that love would protect us
(We believed that love would protect us)
But life and time stole our dreams
(x2)
This life stole away our dreams
It was under the yard of the college,
The first time that we touched each other's lips.
Since my eyes were singing, "Don't Leave me," by Brel, to you
I remember, we spoke to each other in poems
We spent sleepless nights getting into debt at the SFR
We repainted the world with the brush of our utopia
We told each other about our lives as if in therapy
We believed that our love would protect us from everything
But the life of a couple doesn't stay the same after "I love you."
