Qu'il est loin le temps devant nous [English translation]

Time is so far ahead of us

Still one day or the other it made the rendezvous

Still one day or the other it made the rendezvous

Time is so far ahead of us

It tries to make fools of those who follow it

It tries to make fools of those who follow it

Time is so far ahead of us

So many things... You see it everywhere

You hide it, it knows all the same

How to come back

All of a sudden time has gone so far

You thought it was just behind

And in one shot you must forget

Without a word

And in one shot you must forget

Without a word

Time is so far ahead of us

Days go by, every day you count the blows

Days go by, every day you count the blows

Days go by, every day you count the blows

Time is so far ahead of us

So many things... You see it everywhere

You hide it, it knows all the same

How to come back

All of a sudden, time has gone so far

You thought it was just behind

And in one shot you must forget

Without a word

And in one shot you must forget

Without a word
