Grandi trop vite [English translation]

I remember you, your first months

You grew up too fast, grew up too fast

I'm proud of you, after your first steps

Grown up too fast, you've grown up too fast

I remember you, your first months

You grew up too fast, grew up too fast

I'm proud of you, after your first steps

Grown up too fast, you've grown up too fast

November 28, '85, you were so small, so fragile

The roles have been reversed now

It's you who worries about me, and it's I who tire you

You would never finish your plate, making you eat was a puzzle

And you were thin as a nail, but at school, that did not prevent you from being a clown

Your first pair of sneakers, I taught you to tie your shoelaces

When I see you, I get the feeling of being an ancestor

I didn't see the years passing, I have to accept it

You were just a sparrow, I turned my head for a moment

And you became a man, it's an honor

I knew time would make me suffer

Effectively, I did not see you grow up

I remember you, your first months

You grew up too fast, grew up too fast

I'm proud of you, after your first steps

Grown up too fast, you've grown up too fast

You've grown up too fast

You've grown up too fast

You got yourself dirty, I cleaned you

You did shit, I yelled

Today, I hear people addressing you formally

Calling you "Monsieur Fall," you have started your own family

Like me, you have chosen music

I knew you were talented, I could feel it

You've worked from morning to night like at the factory

With your friends, you've conquered all of France

You were just a sparrow, I turned my head for a moment

And you became a man, it's an honor

I knew time would make me suffer

Effectively, I did not see you grow up

I remember you, your first months

You grew up too fast, grew up too fast

I'm proud of you, after your first steps

Grown up too fast, you've grown up too fast

You've grown up too fast

You've grown up too fast

The years have passed by too fast

I didn't even see you grow up

You've become a man, my son

I didn't even see you grow up

You've grown up too fast

I didn't see you grow up

(Grow up, grow up, grow up, grow up, grow up)

I didn't see you grow up

(Grow up, grow up, grow up, grow up, grow up)

I didn't see you grow up
