We push in a garden
Where nothing is missing
Water, fire, wine
As much as we ask for
Our leaves make
What we eat
And the lonely people are
What we leave behind
Of our ideas the only one that counts
To grow faster than our shadow
And I know it, you know it, we know it
That it's from
But we leave to the after
What we have not done

When I become a father my dear children
Don't ask me where autumn has gone
And then winter and spring
Spare me

When I become a father my dear children
I won't say that I've done a ton
Yesterday's time makes the next
Spare me

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

It happened to us that some trees threatened
To change the garden and erase its traces
But change, never enchants
Who like frozen, cannot move
Of our ideas the only one worth
Never to pass for a valet
And I forget, you forget that nothing is worth life
And life is worth what we leave to the future

When I become a father my dear children
Don't ask me where autumn has gone
And then winter and spring
Spare me

When I become a father my dear children
I won't say that I've done a ton
Yesterday's time makes the next
Spare me

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

I could have, I should have, I would have had salvation
I could have, I should have, I would have seen hope
I could have, I should have, I would have had salvation
I could have, I should have, I would have seen hope
I could have, I should have, I would have had salvation
I could have, I should have, I would have seen hope
I could have, I should have, I would have had salvation

I could have, I should have, I would have had salvation
I could have, I should have, I would have seen hope
I could have, I should have, I would have had salvation
I could have, I should have, I would have seen hope
I could have, I should have, I would have had salvation
I could have, I should have, I would have seen hope
I could have, I should have, I would have had salvation

When I become a father my dear children
Don't ask me where autumn has gone
And then winter and spring
Spare me
When I become a father my dear children
I won't say that I've done a ton
Yesterday's time makes the next
Spare me
Oh oh oh
Spare me
