On the photographs of this old rock
Three billion ants running after us
It's nice, it's funny, but how many will we be
When we turn twenty in the year 2001
We will put down our suitcases, our iron canteens
On a piece of ice floe, a corner of desert
And we'll brush our teeth with refrains
When we turn twenty in the year 2001
I will have white hair, I will be old tomorrow
When you turn twenty in the year 2001
Little man, you just hatched like a human angel
Tiny little man who reaches out to take his first steps
Little man, crossing the living room
It's a bit like reaching the horizon
Little man, never give up
And we will put down our shovels at mealtime
We will heat our pots on wood fires
We will make kites to go further
When we turn twenty in the year 2001
I will have many torments, you will know nothing about it
When you turn twenty in the year 2001
Little man, you want to do everything as you please
Live to the fullest, burn your life without knowing where you're going
Little man, leaving without knowing anything
It's a bit like walking in the dark night
Little man and to think that I did like you
We will make igloos, we will eat seals
And we will hammer nails right into the rock
We will have no more gloves, we will have our fists
When we turn twenty in the year 2001
On the photographs of this old rock
Three billion ants running after us
It's nice, it's funny, but how many will we be
When we turn twenty in the year 2001
We will put down our suitcases, our iron canteens
On a piece of ice floe, a corner of desert
And we'll brush our teeth with refrains
When we turn twenty in the year 2001
And we will put down our shovels at mealtime
We will heat our pots on wood fires
We will make kites to go further
When we turn twenty
