The first woman of my life
I didn't see her right away
I only saw that she was small
After having grown a bit
She took me to museums
Sometimes to the Colonne concert
Where her nice little boy
Pretended to have fun

She sang, my mother
She often sang
Songs from yesterday
Songs from before

The first woman of my life
One day took me to school
Wrapped up in a scarf
Armed with a shiny satchel
I met the good, the bad
The dots on the i's, on the throat
He was sometimes very alone
The second man of mom

She sang, my mother
She often sang
Songs from yesterday
Songs from before

The first woman of my life
I left her to be a man
It's always an autumn morning
When children leave the bed
It's always a rainy morning
It's often for another woman
Hmm-hmm, mmm-mmm

She sang, my mother
She often sang
Songs from yesterday
Songs from before
