Et le temps n'attend pas [English translation]

Oh, resting at my window

I see you go by

Glued to the stopwatch

Practically chained to it

And it says in the newspapers

That it's Monday today

That it's going to be cloudy

That it's almost wintertime

You said you love me, yet

I've understood nothing

I wait at the window

For a sunny spell

One last patch of blue sky

An hour between the clouds

That would belong only to the two of us

But it's about to storm now

Once again, a day that goes by

Once again, and time doesn't wait

Time works against us you know

It will know just how to catch us

Time never waits

And resting at my window

I see you go by

You made me promise us

Eternity

All that I had on me

Was just a bit of time

Now there's no more of it, you know

Winter is here for a good while

Once again, a day that goes by

Once again, and time doesn't wait

Time works against us you know

It will know just how to catch us

Time never waits

Time works against us you know

It will know just how to catch us

Time never waits

Never waits

Once again,

Once again,

Every hour every day I wait my turn

I'd prefer to forget

The countdown

Of the time that goes around

Of the time that never waits

Every every day I wait my turn

I'd prefer to forget

The countdown

Of the time that goes around

Of the time that never waits

Time works against us you know

It will know just how to catch us

Time never waits

Time works against us you know

It will know just how to catch us

Time never waits...
