My French isn't all that good, but I really love this song. I know the Dutch translation ('Liefde van later', translated by Lennaert Nijgh and performed by Herman van Veen), so I can try and say something about its meaning. Basically it's about two people being together for years and even though some things have changed, they still love each other very much and they're now in this strong, deep, lasting relationship.

Probably it's way more complicated, but neither my French, nor my English are good enough to explain it any better than this.
