Hmm hmm

When you spent your Christmases
At the chalet, in Courchevel
Far too far from our windows
I imagined without knowing
In your shrimp lungs
The smell of the green slope
And your potbellied parents
In the hotels of nothingness

When you spent your summers
Shells on the island of Ré
So far from our bland suns
I imagined your walks
The horses, the cousin
The beach that takes shape
And under a parasol pine
Your parents in formaldehyde

We, we stayed there
We didn't have the chance (ah ah ah)
My word, we didn't have (ah ah ah)
The same holidays (ah ah ah)
You made us dream
But we didn't know
That in this life there
The heart wasn't there (ah ah ah)

When you spent your Sundays
Well combed, white shirt
The walks in the park
Bagatelle in a boat
Beautiful allure of the shop windows
Love, it's guessed
And your parents holding each other
By the tip of their feelings

But one day, which was too much
Your sadness under the metro
Keeping the line of sight
What you must become
In the beautiful new neighborhoods
Who of the chicken or the egg?
Is it useful to defend oneself?
Or your tears, to give them back

We, we stayed there
We didn't have the chance (ah ah ah)
My word, we didn't have (ah ah ah)
The same holidays (ah ah ah)
You made us dream
But we didn't know
That in this square meadow
Your heart wasn't there (ah ah ah)
Ah ah ah

And we stayed there
Between us, waiting (ah ah ah)
That life, one day
Would like to surprise us (ah ah ah)
It made us dream
So who would have believed it? (Ah ah ah)
That at the beginning of summer
Your heart wouldn't be there anymore
