Le Temps

Let me guide your steps in existence
Let me have the chance to be loved
Come like a child on my shoulder
Let me have the role of making you forget
The time that goes
The time that sleeps
The time without joy
The time of wonders
The time of a day
The time of a second
The time that runs
And the one that growls

Time, time
Time and nothing else
Yours, mine
The one we want ours

The past time
The one that will be born
The time to love
And to disappear
The time of tears
The time of luck
The time that dies
The time of holidays

Time, time
Time and nothing else
Yours, mine
The one we want ours

The glorious time
The pre-war time
The time of games
The time of business
The joyful time
The time of lies
The timid time
And the time of dreams

Time, time
Time and nothing else
Yours, mine
The one we want ours

The time of floods
The time of madness
The lost time
The time of life
The time that comes
Never stops
And I know well
That life is made
Of some people's time
And others' time
Yours, mine
Can become ours
Time, time, time
