Double Enfance [English translation]

It is not given to everyone

the chance to love each other for life

Ten years, ten months, ten seconds

and here we are

Diving into the trouble waters

of my distant memories

If sometimes I see double

It's because my childhood comes back to me

Double life, double silence

Double sense and double play

Silently the heart is torn

Why do parents have to be two ?

We see some land, we travel

Every week and every summer

Memories that move us

and we can't tell anyone.

It is not given to everyone

the chance to love each other for life

Ten years, ten months, ten seconds

and here we are

Diving into the trouble waters

of my distant memories

If sometimes I see double

It's because my childhood comes back to me

Two homes, two neighbourhoods

Two birthday cakes

Multiplying fathers and mothers

doesn't have only negative sides

Before others I will have known

that the only feeling that lasts

is the sorrow for a break-up

there were I wouldn't never have broken up

It is not given to everyone

the chance to love each other for life

Ten years, ten months, ten seconds

and here we are

Diving into the trouble waters

of my distant memories

If sometimes I see double

It's because my childhood comes back to me

Ten years, ten months, ten seconds

Time is not a problem anymore

It is not given to everyone

the chance to love each other for life
