Original lyrics
French
Translation
English
Volver
Return
I recall tastes of drowsiness and torment and people
It wasn't even five hours ago that I was 15 years old
But it was a bigger thing than that of a child
A flood of recollection hits me
Of an apeman and a watch-face
Of a pain in the teeth and the gentleness of not a single spring
Before
Before
I want to do everything like rich people
All while cursing them at the bottom
I recall the wilderness of my old vagrant friends
It wasn't even four hours ago that I was 20 years old
I already had the worries of an old idiot
Today, I was already in love with some trees, only for their trunks
Life doesn't love what we see in our eyes
She can make you believe by accident that there are two of them
But there's only one
Without rancor nor resentment
I remember their lovers with a dirty mind, with a dirty penis head
It was at the 45-minute mark of an hour that I was 30 years old
The arse of an orangutan
I remember the small things, a corner of the sky that turned purple
I was already of little matter
Just like a rebel without a cause
Barely two seals later I was 40 years old
Life was already less funny
The colour of love was like rotgut
Every summer on a soft hill
Life doesn't love what we see in our eyes
She can make you believe by accident that there are two of them
But there's only one
Without rancor nor resentment
Nothing
A long sigh, confused and foggy
Small tricks, falsely clever
I see my future as an old man
Like a train that's always late
It wasn't even five hours ago that I was 15 years old
Already enraged, it was already towards others
My eyes were already flushed with blood
I already had my nose turned to the sky
A few months ago
I was 15 years old
But I didn't like it.

Author's comments:
The song is entirely in French, but the title appears to be the Spanish word "volver", which translates to "return"
