You worked too hard for that
Every hour of the day at the factory
At the entrance to the village
In the evening, two gardens at a time
And all this so your kids can eat
I know that, I was there
To get up, at those times
Long before, the day to leave
With bare hands on the cold handlebars
And all this so your kids can sleep
I know that, I was there
I wish I'd looked like you, I swear
But lo and behold, it's not enough to want, it was not in my nature
You really had to question yourself, I'm sure
And one day, I met a guitar, I lived as fun
You had your feet on the ground
And, I was quite the opposite
Pa-la-pa-pa, pa-la-pa-pa-pa-pa-la-la
Pa-la-pa-pa, pa-la-pa-pa-pa-pa-la-la
We didn't say 'I love you'
We didn't hug
As far as love was concerned, it was necessary
Guess everything ourselves
We were allowed to grow up like this
And, you see, we grew up anyway
I know it, I was there
To have been so lucky
Sometimes I feel at fault
My house is huge and my garden is decorative
And, I know from your far beyond
You kept an eye on me
I wish I looked like you, I swear
But lo and behold, it's not enough to want, it was not in my nature
You really had to question yourself, I'm sure
And one day, I met a guitar, I lived as fun
You had your feet on the ground
And, I was quite the opposite
Pa-la-pa-pa, pa-la-pa-pa-pa-pa-la-la
Pa-la-pa-pa, pa-la-pa-pa-pa-pa-la-la
You worked too hard for that
You worked too hard for that
Pa-la-pa-pa, pa-la-pa-pa-pa-pa-la-la
Pa-la-pa-pa, pa-la-pa-pa-pa-pa-la-la
