At the time, I listened to Ménélik, ICE MC, and Gala
On TV, it was Olive and Tom and the Ninja Turtles
I knew Atari, Master System, the Super Nintendo
Alex Kid, Tetris, Sonic, Shinobi as well as Luigi and Mario
For me, Will Smith has always been and will remain the Prince of Bel Air
Nevertheless, "Heartbreak High" was just as popular
I spent a quarter of my vacations at the Argelès-sur-Mer campsite
For those moments spent there, I want to say thank you to my mother

Enjoy the present moment
Because the future is knocking at your door
Everything surely won't be pleasant
But learn everything that life brings you
Time passes too quickly
Time passes
Time, time passes too quickly
Time passes
Time, time passes too quickly
Time passes
Time, time passes too quickly
Time passes

I remember middle school
And that during all the music theory classes
We burned the ends of cork stoppers
To blacken Nadège's nose
My teachers told my parents
That I was a disruptive student
But I was never insolent
Except maybe with Mr. Durant
I liked that carefreeness
When I think back to my childhood
In front of the adult world
I felt defenseless
I had so many ideas,
Music guided me
And it will guide me until death

Enjoy the present moment
Because the future is knocking at your door
Everything surely won't be pleasant
But learn everything that life brings you
Time passes too quickly
Time passes
Time, time passes too quickly
Time passes
Time, time passes too quickly
Time passes
Time, time passes too quickly
Time passes

As a teenager, I played Snake on the Nokia 3310
I saw Loana in the pool during Loft Story on M6
I knew the era of Pogs, marbles, Yu-Gi-Oh cards
I didn't always get good grades
Because with my friends I acted like a fool
I wrote texts in class
Instead of listening to the teachers
I didn't like looking at myself in the mirror
Because my reflection horrified me
I learned that when a vase breaks
Gluing it back together is a mistake
That wounds never fade
I learned it the hard way, by the way

Enjoy the present moment
Because the future is knocking at your door
Everything surely won't be pleasant
But learn everything that life brings you
Time passes too quickly
Time passes
Time, time passes too quickly
Time passes
Time, time passes too quickly
Time passes
Time, time passes too quickly
Time passes
