C'est de L'eau, C'est Du Vent
Claude François
It's Water, It's Wind
My first friend is now just a dot on the horizon.
My first love already has no name
And when I look at the picture of that little boy
I barely recognize my face.
My first car, I was crazy about it, I was proud of it
Now it's just a poor pile of iron.
My first song that was supposed to make the whole world sing
I left it on distant shores.
[chorus:]
It's water, it's wind
That we drink and then forget
Fine and shifting sand
And my steps get lost in the night.
Wonderful sun that gives us back every day
The illusion of believing that we will last forever.
Wonderful girl of today, you who are my love
Because you are as wise as an image.
It's water, it's wind
That I hold in the palm of my hands.
Fine and shifting sand
Covering the stones of the path.
As long as I live, I will drink the water and the strong wind
In big gulps in the rising morning
Without ever regretting anything from yesterday, telling myself that tomorrow
I will have even more.
[in the chorus, x3]
