I'm talking about a time
_____
I'm talking about a time
Between struggles and poems
_____
I'm talking about a time
_____
That those under twenty
_____
Saint-Denis back then
Two-three buddies passing by
_____
And the town-hall bell tower
_____
Sings "The Time of Cherries"
_____
I'm talking about a time
_____
Over omelette-fries
And we'd remake the world
At the foot of the buildings
The world must've seen us
_____
That's a good start
_____
I'm talking about a time
_____
I'm talking about a time
Between struggles and poems
_____
Pull all-nighters
_____
Blackening all those pages
_____
Almost like payback
_____
Facing almost-brothers
_____
Inspiration was everywhere
_____
I could often see it overflow
_____
By screaming our stories
_____
I'm talking about a time
Of which I wouldn't change
_____
I'm talking about a time
_____
I'm talking about a time
_____
Nostalgia as an emblem
_____
Between struggles and poems
_____
As for random days
_____
I go for a stroll
_____
But the spirit's gone
What's left then is memory
_____
And this sharp pang
Between struggles and poems
