Il était une fois nous deux [English translation]

Remember, it was on a Thursday

Remember, we had followed

The path of lovers

It was once upon a time, the two of us

Remember, it was the big day

The big step towards big love

It was even better than that

It was the two of us, once upon a time

A motel on the road leading to the harbor

A mundane night

Two clients, a night watchman about to fall asleep

Over his newspaper

He hands out both of us a key,

Tells us "Good night"

In the morning, we had rented separate rooms

We do not dare show that we love one another

At barely eighteen years of age

[Chorus]

We randomly chose the number fourteen,

A little shy,

Then your dress slipped off in the dark

We loved one another

When, later on, the waiter came

To bring us

Two cups of coffee with a knowing smile,

You hid away

He did not see you mourning

Your departing childhood
