Je m'imagine [English translation]

I imagine your childhood

With your big surprised eyes

Oh as I envy these chances

To expand on your sides

I always wanted you to know

Then the years, the years

You will become my teacher

Me, your passionate slave

I wanted liked to live in the shadow

To intervene at the slightest brief

To light up your dark hours

Be part of your memories

But speak to me about your youth

That I want to follow step by step

In your pleasures, in your sorrows

In your worries and in your joys

If you know that I want to drink

Your loved mouth's words

You tell me stories

Without never wanting to stop you

You tell me that your life starts

Then as you meet me

And that you never rethink

In the events of your past

Repeat these things again for me

To penetrate to the depth of my heart

Oh, my love, re-tell these things

These things that resemble happiness

Is it really there in the head

Nothing else that you do envy

And that you regret nothing

To be my man for life.
