We had said let's meet in 10 years
Same day, same time, same apples
We'll see when we're 30 years old
On the steps of the place of great men

The day has come and so have I
But I don't want to be the first
If we had nothing more to say and if and if

I'm taking detours in the neighborhood
It's crazy how a spring twilight
Reminds of the same twilight 10 years ago
Sidewalks worn by lowered gazes
What have I done with these years?

I didn't float peacefully on the water
I didn't swim with the wind at my back
Last straight line, Soufflot street
How many will be there 4, 3, 2, 1, 0?

We had said let's meet in 10 years
Same day, same time, same apples
We'll see when we're 30 years old
On the steps of the place of great men

I had so often wanted her
Will the beautiful Severine look at me?
Eric wanted to explore the subconscious
Does he resurface from time to time?

I'm a little afraid to cross the mirror
If I didn't go, I would have missed a night
In front of an antique shop window
I imagine the reunion of friendship

"You haven't changed, what are you doing?
You're married, you have three kids
You succeeded, you're a doctor?
And you Pascale, are you still laughing for nothing?"

We had said let's meet in 10 years
Same day, same time, same apples
We'll see when we're 30 years old
On the steps of the place of great men

I've known high tides and low tides
Like you, like you, like you
I've encountered storms and squalls
Like you, like you, like you

Each dead love made way for a new one
And you, and you
And you?
And you Marco who simply aspired
To be happy in life
Did you win your bet?
And you François, and you Laurence, and you Marion
And you Gégé
And you Bruno, and you Évelyne?

Well, it's great, friends
We've said everything, we shake hands
We can't put 10 years on the table
Like we spread our letters in Scrabble

In the window I see the reflection
Of a high school girl behind me
She goes left, I'll follow her
If it's to the right
Wait for me
Wait for me!
Wait for me!
Wait for me!

We had said let's meet in 10 years
Same day, same time, same apples
We'll see when we're 30 years old
If we've become great men
Great men
Great men

Hey, let's meet in 10 years
