To sit on a bench for five minutes with you
And watch the people as long as there are any
To talk to you about the good times that are dead or will come back
While squeezing your little fingers in my hand
And feed stupid pigeons
Pretend to kick them
And hear your laughter that cracks the walls
Which above all knows how to heal my wounds
To tell you a bit about how I was as a kid
The fabulous candies
That we stole from the shopkeeper
Car-en-sac and Mintho, caramels for one franc
And the winning Mistral candies

To walk in the rain for five minutes with you
And watch life as long as there is any
To tell you about the earth while devouring you with my eyes
To talk a little bit about your mother
And jump in puddles to annoy her
Ruin our shoes and laugh

And hear your laughter like we hear the sea
Stop, go back
To tell you especially about the carambars of the past and the coco-boers
And the real roudoudous that cut our lips and ruined our teeth
And the winning Mistral candies

To sit on a bench for five minutes with you
And watch the sun go down
To talk to you about the good times that are dead and I don't care
To tell you that the bad guys are not us
That if I'm crazy, it's only because of your eyes
Because they have the advantage of being two
And hear your laughter fly as high
As the cries of the birds fly
To finally tell you that you have to love life and love it even if
Time is a murderer and takes with it
The laughter of children
And the winning Mistral candies
And the winning Mistral candies
