I'm talking to you about a time from my childhood room
Where his voice resonated
I didn't understand everything, but in the twilight
He would lull me softly
His notes, like lights, illuminated my winter
Gave me courage
To sing like him and dream of Paris
We were the same age
From Montmartre to Venice, from cafes to churches
I've traveled so much
And I already saw myself looking after mama
And even dying of love
Dazzled by his talent, I wasn't even ten
And I already knew
That one day I could share this love
That doesn't stop
No

Charles, just a first name, if I only dared to call you Charles
Overcome my modesty, let my heart speak
Charles, just a first name, if I dared for a moment to call you Charles
And from your melodies, from your so precise words, Charles

I haven't forgotten anything, of the outdated pleasures
That don't age
If I wanted to sing, it's to resemble you
So that life is less empty
And I now know that we never get bored
Saying what we think
My loves, my friends and my troubles, too
Thanks to you, have a meaning

Charles, just a first name, if I only dared to call you Charles
Overcome my modesty, let my heart speak
Charles, just a first name, if I dared for a moment to call you Charles
And from your melodies, from your so precise words, Charles

Finally, to say thank you to you
