Of course you will have sorrows
Sleepless nights and bad days
Of course I won't be able to do anything about it
We won't always understand each other
Of course I will stay up too late
Listening for the sound of your footsteps
And of course you will get tired
Of "Why didn't you let me know?"

And if necessary, I will know how to be discreet
Since it seems to be the tradition
In front of your friends, invisible or almost
My sons, my strength, my reason

In the meantime, I will become a lioness or a tigress
In the meantime, I will be your fortress
In the meantime, to put between you and sorrow
Walls engraved with "I love you"
In the meantime, I will walk beside you
And if one falls, the other will stand him up
In the meantime, in the meantime

We will hang some silences
On your unspoken words, on my torments
As long as we laugh, what does it matter?
Nothing will really be serious
Together we will take trips
To create some memories
When your childhood sails away
We will have to let it go

And the moment will obviously come too quickly
One day you will leave the house
With the ink of your lives, write a new chapter
My sons, my strength, my reason

But in the meantime, I will become a lioness or a tigress
In the meantime, I will be your fortress
In the meantime, to put between you and sorrow
Walls engraved with "I love you"
In the meantime, I will walk beside you
And if one falls, the other will stand him up
In the meantime, in the meantime

I will always leave a light on
In the hallway
And a bit of yesterday's meal
In case you happen to pass by
I will pretend not to expect it
And I will hope with all my body
That you will come to surprise me
And hold me tight in your arms

And then it will be me
Who will be very small
Suddenly the roles will reverse
On your arm I will feel unique
My sons, my strength, my reason

In the meantime, I will gradually fade away
Leaving you the best of me, I promise
In the meantime, there will be nothing left to wait for
The tender age will be far away
Oh-oh-oh-oh
In the meantime, I will grow old even in your eyes
You will be grown up, I will rest a bit
In the meantime, in the meantime
