Victoria, 1914
The summer starts well
We are going on vacation
To Dinard
I am marrying Edward

Victoria, 1917
The war does not end
Michel is two years old
Edward at Chemin des Dames
And I'm bored, Amsterdam street

(We will hang our laundry)
(On the Siegfried line, the Siegfried line)

Victoria, 1939
The summer starts well
We are going on vacation
To Dinard
I will go to Edward's grave

In front of the barracks, in front of the big gate
There is a lantern and it still stands there

Victoria, 1943
The war does not end
Jean-Pierre is two years old
Michel is in Berlin
In Paris, we are starving

(The change, yes)
(Ah, pretty, new)
(It's been a hard day's night)
(And I've been working like a dog)

Victoria, 1968
The spring starts well
I will go on vacation
To Dinard
I will babysit the children in the evening

(Aaah, doot-doot-doot)
(Doot-doot-doot, doot-doot-doot)

Victoria, 1978 (doot-doot-doot)
Life does not end (doot-doot-doot)
Already 85 years old (doot-doot-doot)
Ringing (doot-doot-doot)
I no longer interest anyone (doot-doot-doot)

Victoria, 1980
I'm going to die tomorrow
And they will bury me
Between two appointments
I kept my wits to the end
