Lucas [English translation]

The shopping malls are closing

It’s getting late, we must go home.

Give me your hand, let’s cross the road.

You look funny with your boxes.

The small Snoopy and the big Mickey.

They are almost twice as tall as you.

What great weather you have here in Provence.

You’re lucky to be living here.

I feel as if I am on holiday.

My God, how much you look like him.

Just looking at you two together,

Makes my heart go back to when I was 20.

You’re already asleep in the cab.

You’re dreaming of a heaven,

where I will never go away, Lucas.

Your father and I, a long time ago,

We loved each other passionately.

But I left him for a song.

Otherwise it’s all good.

A little bit of mist in the eyes, it’s nothing.

And the past upsetting me a bit, it’s nothing.

Tonight, my head is delirious and I am reminiscing.

Well, when I need to laugh tomorrow,

the young boy will grow up suddenly

And will not fly kites anymore.

You admire me so, and you love me

My photos are scattered all around in your room

Like those of a movie star.

If only you knew how many times

I wanted to trade in all of that

For a summer alone with you Lucas.

You will replace all the adulations

When evening comes and the curtain falls

I am nothing more than a lonely woman, Lucas

To hold you against my heart

Your laughs and your tears

To be your mother for a few hours.

Otherwise it’s all good.

A little bit of mist in the eyes, it’s nothing.

And the past upsetting me a bit, it’s nothing.

Tonight, my head is delirious and I am reminiscing.

Well, when I need to laugh tomorrow,

the young boy will grow up suddenly

And will not fly kites anymore.

The taxi has stopped

Better wake up

It’s not easy to leave you Lucas

Your mother is making hand signs

Go, she’s waiting for you in the garden

And I will be on my way
