20 Ans

We're not here to pay off debtsOn est pas là pour payer les dettes
We've all known our sufferingsOn a tous connus nos martyres
We settle for every crumb,On se contente de chaque miette,
Every second, every sighChaque seconde, chaque soupir

There's not much we regretIl n’y a pas grand-chose que l’on regrette
Or don't want to rememberOu l’ on ne veut plus se souvenir
We've braved so many stormsOn a bravé tant de tempêtes
That we didn't even see ourselves growQu’on ne s’est même pas vu grandir

Tell me that life is even more beautifulDis moi que la vie est encore plus belle
When you're over 20 years oldQuand on a plus 20 ans
Can we still touch the skyEst-ce qu’on peut encore toucher le ciel
When we're over 20 years oldQuand on plus 20 ans
Give me mountains and wondersDonnes moi des monts et des merveilles
As if I were 20 years oldComme si j’avais 20 ans
Do they call you missEst ce qu’on t’appeler mademoiselle
You're always 20 years oldTu as toujours 20 ans

We still play with matchesOn joue toujours avec les allumettes
With flames, with desireAvec les flammes, avec le désir
We have only one desire, one requestOn a qu’une envie, qu’une requête
To laugh as if we were never going to dieDe rire conne si on allait jamais mourir
We're past the age of being foolishOn a passé l’âge d’être bête
Not the age to be dazzledPas celui de se faire éblouir
Every day is a conquestChaque journée est une conquête
That must be taken down with a smileQu’il faut abattre d’un sourire

Tell me that life is even more beautifulDis moi que la vie est encore plus belle
When you're over 20 years oldQuand on a plus 20 ans
Can we still touch the skyEst-ce qu’on peut encore toucher le ciel
When we're over 20 years oldQuand on plus 20 ans
Give me mountains and wondersDonnes moi des monts et des merveilles
As if I were 20 years oldComme si j’avais 20 ans
Do they call you missEst ce qu’on t’appeler mademoiselle
You're always 20 years oldTu as toujours 20 ans
Always 20 years oldToujours 20 ans
Always 20 years oldToujours 20 ans

We've overcome the beastOn est venus à bout de le bête
And the nights that were supposed to shrinkEt des nuits qui devaient rétrécir
We will never retreatOn ne battra jamais en retraite
We still have so much to offerOn a encore tant de choses à offrir
