(Rough) Translation: There was a time when nothing was unlit When only the gold of my heart would give the time And then I was strong but I have lost the flower and the innocence In this setting I feel lost ’cause nothing makes sense anymore I still have a few dreams as long as I’m given enough time I’ll go and caress their lips I still have a few dreams As long as I’m given enough time, I’ll go and caress their lips There was a time when nothing was unlit When only the gold of my heart would give the time And then I was strong but I have lost the flower and the innocence In this setting I feel lost ’cause nothing makes sense anymore If the time is running too fast I feel like I can do it I am a child I refuse time

I watch the sky and this rainbow alleviate myself I watch the light and then I wander in my dreams

Forget the time Stay a child


It's about growing up, definately. Having your views of the world change as you age, and how it's painful. It's a beautiful song. Spleen is an amazing rapper.

(Bisounours - carebears in French)
