J'ai trouvé des amis

I studied until I was twenty
I dodged my regiment
I lied to my parents like everyone else
I came home too late at the wrong time
I did odd jobs while waiting
For a well-paid part-time job
To be able to enjoy happily
The smiles that people gave me
I took my time, I chilled out
I watched my acne go by
Without watching too much TV
I wanted to learn to share

I found friends
I found friends
I gave them a bit of my soul
And a bit of my life, yes!
If you knew all that I took from them
I found friends
I found friends

I shared my hormone-fed chickens
Opened my door to everyone
I discovered the life of charity
From Brittany to Puy-de-Dôme
I mingled with some races
The same ones Le Pen finds disgusting
With whom I shared my anxieties
And sometimes dirtied my shoes
I made love on the straw
I shouted for the class struggle
I took blows, endured threats
But nothing tarnishes a tenacious love

I found friends
I found friends
I gave them a bit of my soul
And a bit of my life, yes!
If you knew all that I took from them
I found friends
I found friends

My strength is my pride
It's my ten fingers, it's my big mouth
But I know that the silence of some
Could slow down my instincts
Because we are all different
In diverse looks, in changing moods
Let's just admit it
And share our feelings
And there I see the world face to face
The paperwork supermarket
Dreaming of conquering space
But not really knowing what's going on
If you are alone and thoughtful
If you are full of tranquilizers
If you can't sleep of course
Find yourself some mates and don't waste time
You have to find friends
I found friends
Give them a bit of my soul
And a bit of your life
If you knew all that I took from them
You have to find friends
I found friends
