Turn beautiful unicorns, turn wooden horses
You turn for appearances, they will not come back
They have other worries and so many other games
The town has filled with romantic boys
Turn pretty weather-vanes, cardboard rockets
Life is so badly designed, one day they leave
And already I miss you, garden games
Where the children take journeys and never go far
Gone the cries of joy, gone the free turns
One day they believe, they believe they know all about life
For one of those beaus with an adorable mug
They leave the games and the parents alone
Alone and turned inside-out
From your trembling moons full of colour
From your charming cars that they drive in packs
One day they descend just like that for no reason
One day they’re grown up, they turn their talons
Gone the cries of joy, gone the free turns
One day they believe, they believe they know all about life
Now when they pass, they look elsewhere
The boys on the balconies who play up to them
Who make their pretty hearts turn
Those eyes which devour you
From the benches all around
Those guys who adore you
Photographing love
I did as everyone else
For three bits of string
Hanging from a balloon
I only looked at them
Your hands towards the ceiling
And I did as everyone else
I applauded the ring
I saw your eyes shining
Who could ask for more, who could ask for more…
Go on…
Turn pretty runaways, life is life that
Overall be happy to turn in other arms
That must not worry you
I was very happy
Those millions of times When I saw your eyes shining
Gone, the free turns
