Enfance 80 Lyrics in English Videoclub , Natalia Lacunza

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Enfance 80 by Videoclub from Spanish to English.
I've touched the past with my fingers
I've lived yesterday
As if it were again
I know the truth never dies
It sways like falling snow
From the pastel sky
I leave tomorrow to others
(French)
I only take the now
(French)
If it's about thinking of the end
(French)
Count on my childhood dreams
(French)
Why stop dreaming?
If I can find peace
When the end approaches
I won't wake up
Little one, I flee time, already afraid of conventions
(French)
And the real fabric of people, it's crazy what they think
(French)
We fly in paper airplanes
They can't catch us
If we scream, our thirst doesn't end
I leave tomorrow to others
(French)
I only take the now
(French)
If it's about thinking of the end
(French)
Count on my childhood dreams
(French)
Why stop dreaming?
If I can find peace
When the end approaches
I won't wake up
I regret my adolescence
And yet it's not over
(French)
When you're little, there's mistrust
(French)
Then comes contempt
(French)
There are days when it goes wrong
(French)
It's because you forget when it goes well
(French)
Adults shout, they complain
(French)
Say things that are useless
(French)
You spend your life in the past
(French)
And yet it's not so beautiful
(French)
You remember the worn-out days
(French)
May months, water battles
(French)
You have to get used to it, you're just grown up
(French)
There will be plenty, you'll see
(French)
Beautiful things, good moments
(French)
When it's over, you'll regret
(French)
I leave tomorrow to others
(French)
I only take the now
(French)
If it's about thinking of the end
(French)
Count on my childhood dreams
(French)
Why stop dreaming?
If I can find peace
Without thinking of the end
I won't wake up
Why stop dreaming?
If I can find peace
When the end approaches
I won't wake up

SONG MEANING

Imagine touching yesterday with your fingertips and feeling every pastel-colored memory swirl around you. Enfance 80 pairs nostalgic French synth-pop with breezy Spanish vocals to create a dreamy trip back to childhood, when paper airplanes were enough to make us believe we could outrun anything. The singers flip between languages to show that this longing for simpler times is universal: whether you say «je laisse aux autres les demain» or «¿por qué dejar de soñar?», the heart understands the same message.

Beneath the sugary sound lies a gentle reminder to grab the present while it’s still bright. The song admits that adulthood can be noisy and anxious, yet it insists that innocence never truly dies; it just waits inside our “rêves d’enfant.” By choosing to dream instead of worrying about the end, the narrators find peace and invite us to do the same. In other words, keep your inner child on speed dial, because the best way to face tomorrow is by dancing through today.
