Ma jeunesse s'enfuit [English translation]

Some love-words that soar up,

Every day cuddles

weary and wounded

and outdated faces.

My youth is vanishing,

My youth is vanishing,

and likewise life is.

Far away, near the pier,

the motorway's shut down.

as some old Studebaker,

it seems, has crashed down.

My youth is vanishing,

My youth is vanishing,

and likewise life is.

In those airport hallways

where our loves go astray,

Dreams have no end, no end

no, no end..

Some unfinished novels,

Some slipped-in crumpled words,

Beneath the winter moon

some stolen kisses

My youth is vanishing,

My youth is vanishing,

and likewise life is.

What becomes of the past

passers-by's faces ?

the only one who mattered,

never forgotten...

Snow-covered parking lot

All cars trapped 'n' stopped.

In the night a train goes

Too late for tomorrow

My youth is vanishing,

My youth is vanishing,

and likewise life is

In those airport hallways

where our loves go astray,

Dreams have no end, no end
