Le bateau blanc
Gilbert Becaud
The White Boat
You'll have it, your white boat
It's the boat for those who stay kids
The boat from when you were fifteen
Will save you from this world made by the grown-ups
You'll have it, your white boat
But to get it, you'll need to take your time
It's there, your white boat
I see it leaving the dock, catching the wind
Carrying you straight ahead
The treasure island is out there waiting for you at the end
Your white boat was real
Even if you didn't really believe it
Here it comes, your white boat
It's gonna sail into the sun and the wind
Just like when you were fifteen
When it danced on the edge of your childhood dreams
It's heading towards the good times
Take me with you, take me along!
