Translation of Pasadena from French to English
Everything started at the beginning of the school year when my class paraded
We finally met, it was crazy, we were twelve, thirteen years old
I already saw myself in a white carriage, putting the ring on your finger
Imagine, we would have spent high school together, we would have gone on a trip
Then university until the universe decided to separate us
It would have been so nice but it will never exist
I remember when my friend Jon asked you if you wanted to go out with me
You said yes, meet at three o'clock
The courtyard surrounds us, puts pressure on us
One, two, three, BAM, we're dating
We just kissed, now we're going in opposite directions
You with your girlfriends, me with my buddies, heading to the skate-park
They ask me how it feels, I admit it was disgusting
Robotic mechanics, thirty seconds of my life that made me grow
Even if it meant nothing and everything went away like the wind
I really don't know what to tell you
Not to hurt you
The truth is so hard to get out
Baby, I think we got lost
What I'm going to tell you will make you grow
Because your heart speaks like a child
But I'm so afraid to see you and hurt you
I prefer to leave for now
And like a true gypsy, I would have taken you with me on my bike
And I would have stolen you for a week so that in the end you would be mine
But no, I think I was right
Why last week when we were supposed to study together
You took me for a fool, you never called me back
I sent you messages, I know you read them, it even said "seen"
By the way, the other afternoon
Your best friend told me she saw you with that guy at night
You know me, deep down, I just want you to be my girlfriend
Better endure high school like the guys and girls my age
Write "I love you" in your diary
Send you notes in class, only listen to you
Even in detention it's as if we were together because when the teacher sticks us
Your name is the only one I write with Tippex on my bag and all over the walls
But in the end, never mind, that's life
In my head I only have these words that you had told me
Before everything went away with time
I really don't know what to tell you
Not to hurt you
The truth is so hard to get out
Baby, I think we got lost
What I'm going to tell you will make you grow
Because your heart speaks like a child
But I'm so afraid to see you and hurt you
I prefer to leave for now
