C'est dit [English translation]

Singing and girls

Many drinks and many nights

Such were our times

Such were our lives.

Futile teenagers to whom everything was allowed

Kings of cheap junk, down-and-out princes

It's been said that your friends are your only riches. [order changed for better flow. And it rhymes...]

Stormy times come

Before they were expected [lit: before one could predict them]

Impossible loves,

Defeats, ironies.

When everything crashes down,

When even our dreams flee,

There is only an island, a haven, a party* left

It's been said that your friends are your only riches.

It's been said...

But when everything lights up

When everything, at last, smiles on us

Glory, party, symphony

Bravos, jewels, frenzy

When I am overwhelmed by impostors and accusations of amnesia**

Fame and fortune,

What do I know of them now?

My friends are my only riches.

That's it...***

Fame and fortune,

What do I know of them now?

My friends are my only riches.

My friends...

That's it...
