Les petites roues [English translation]

Wait a minute, don't rush,

enjoy looking around

They'll come quick, and soon enough,

all your famous first times

In fact, there are already lots of them,

who came knocking on your door

I'm still not gonna put a lock on it,

need to get ready for you to go out.

I still hear your first screams,

your first words, your first laughs

The first times you figured out

that you had your earliest memories

I was told that with the children,

time accelerates in one fell swoop

Today you took your start,

you rode your bike without the training wheels

I was told that with the children,

time accelerates in one fell swoop

Today you took your start,

you rode your bike without the training wheels

Like a big one, you've taken your start

Like a big one, you've taken your start

Like a big one

Wait a minute, look at me,

Don't skip the steps

For every one of your first times,

I feel like you're slipping away from me.

Of course at the same time I'm also proud,

of all your little victories

There's something in a father's heart,

of contrasting feelings

I can still see your first games,

and your first few days at school

Your first acts, your first vows,

and the innocence that flies away

I was told that with the children,

time accelerates in one fell swoop

Today you took your start,

you rode your bike without the training wheels

I was told that with the children,

time accelerates in one fell swoop

Today you took your start,

you rode your bike without the training wheels

Like a big one, you've taken your start

Like a big one, you've taken your start

Like a big one, you've taken your start

Without the training wheels

Like a big one, you've taken your start

Like a big one, you've taken your start

Like a big one

You said don't worry, I've got the balance.

I got a little freaked out, I admit.

You must have felt a little freer.

On your bike without the small wheels

I was told that with the children,

time accelerates in one fell swoop

Today you took your start,

you rode your bike without the training wheels

I was told that with the children,

time accelerates in one fell swoop

Today you took your start,

you rode your bike without the training wheels

Like a big one, you've taken your start

Like a big one, you've taken your start

Like a big one

You've taken your start like a big one

Like a big one, you've taken your start

Like a big one, you've taken your start

Like a big one
