What will we become
In ten years?
You and me
Who knows, who knows?

Will we be
Like these clumsy people
That we watch forgetting each other?
It's strange how often time separates people who love each other
There is nothing left
Everything seems to have passed
Where do their secrets go?

We will remember
This first of January
Entwined glances
And mixed drinks
It was the heart that was spinning
We will remember
This first of January
What will be left at the end of the year?

And if ever anger knocks at the door
We will try to find what we had before
And if ever the hard blows take us away
Promise me
That you will not forget

I, I'm afraid
That everything changes
That everything passes
Like an old magic trick
I make up stories
Where we settle down
Where we get tired
Tired by time
The fire cools down
It's strange how often time separates people who love each other
There is nothing left
Everything seems to have passed
Where do their secrets go?

We will remember
This first of January
The entwined glances
The mixed drinks
It was the heart that was spinning
We will remember
This first of January
What will be left at the end of the year?

And if ever anger knocks at the door
We will try to find what we had before
And if ever the hard blows take us away
Promise me
That you will not forget
The first of January

That you will not forget
That you will not forget
The first of January
