If I had known before leaving
That one-way tickets don't exist
If I had known that it's not every day
That we baptize the marquise at the Olympia
If I had known that it's not nothing when Paris tells you
"You are at home here"
If I had known that the best of my life was waiting in exile,
In exile in your arms

And I sing oh oh oh oh oh oh
The peaks of our lives, the peaks of our lives
And I sing oh oh oh oh oh oh
The peaks of our lives, the peaks of our lives

If I had known no matter I learned
I watch the hours that the wind lends me
If I had known no matter I understood everything
Since a newborn has been devouring my time

And I sing oh oh oh oh oh oh
The peaks of our lives, the peaks of our lives
And I sing oh oh oh oh oh oh
The peaks of our lives, the peaks of our lives

It's the first time with the love of his life
It's all these victories in the wrong direction
It's the red squares of Rue Saint Denis
Will be the return, the return to Kigali
It's the Maghreb in spring
It's Mandela President
It's Michael and his white glove
It's all the unprecedented
It's the Maghreb in spring
It's Mandela President
It's Michael and his white glove
It's all the unprecedented

And I sing oh oh oh oh oh oh
The peaks of our lives, the peaks of our lives
And I sing oh oh oh oh oh oh
The peaks of our lives, the peaks of our lives
