J'ai connu tant de villes
I've known so many cities
Qui n'étaient jamais les miennes
Who were never mine
J'ai connu tant de filles
I've known so many girls
Qui ne me connaissaient pas
Who didn't know me
Et ma maison, et mes amis
And my house, and my friends
Vous êtes loin, loin, loin
You are far, far, far away
J'ai envie de vous revoir
I want to see you again
Et je reviens
And I'll be back
Buvons un verre à la santé d'hier
Let's have a drink at yesterday's health
A la santé du temps, du bon temps
To the health of time, good times
Quand il ne manquait pas un
When there was no shortage of
De tous nos vieux copains
Of all our old friends
Buvons un verre à la santé d'hier
Let's have a drink at yesterday's health
Et oublions demain
And let's forget tomorrow
Je sais bien que tout change
I know everything changes
Et que les photos vieillissent
And that the photos are getting older
Que ma mère sera blanche
That my mother will be white
Que ma maison sera grise
That my house will be gray
Et que le temps de mes dix ans
And that the time of my ten years
Est déjà loin, loin, loin
Is already far, far, far away
J'ai envie de le revoir
I want to see him again
Et je reviens
And I'll be back
Buvons un verre à la santé d'hier
Let's have a drink at yesterday's health
A la santé du temps, du bon temps
To the health of time, good times
Quand il ne manquait pas un
When there was no shortage of
De tous nos vieux copains
Of all our old friends
Buvons un verre à la santé d'hier
Let's have a drink at yesterday's health
Et oublions demain
And let's forget tomorrow
Si le temps fait des siennes
If time makes its own
Si le monde nous sépare
If the world separates us
Que toujours nous revienne
Let us always come back
Le visage du passé
The face of the past
De ceux qu'on aime, et peu importe
Of those we love, and no matter
Si c'est loin, loin, loin
If it's far, far, far
Quand on peut encore se dire
When you can still say
'je me souviens'
'I remember'
Buvons un verre à la santé d'hier
Let's have a drink at yesterday's health
A la santé du temps, du bon temps
To the health of time, good times
Quand il ne manquait pas un
When there was no shortage of
De tous nos vieux copains
Of all our old friends
Buvons un verre à la santé d'hier
Let's have a drink at yesterday's health
Et oublions demain
And let's forget tomorrow
