Lyrics and translation Strawbs - Starting over
When
I
was
a
young
man
I
wasted
my
days
Quand
j'étais
jeune
homme,
je
perdais
mon
temps
Dreaming
of
fortune
and
fame
À
rêver
de
fortune
et
de
gloire
Now
as
I
look
back,
I
can
see
the
mistakes
Maintenant,
en
regardant
en
arrière,
je
vois
mes
erreurs
It's
time
to
move
on
for
I'm
starting
over
Il
est
temps
d'aller
de
l'avant,
car
je
recommence
A
kid
starting
out
has
much
more
of
a
chance
Un
enfant
qui
débute
a
beaucoup
plus
de
chances
Than
I
ever
had
at
his
age
Que
je
n'en
ai
jamais
eu
à
son
âge
If
only
he's
willing
to
take
what
is
his
S'il
est
prêt
à
prendre
ce
qui
lui
revient
de
droit
Time
to
move
on
for
I'm
starting
over.
Il
est
temps
d'aller
de
l'avant,
car
je
recommence.
Time
knocks
again
and
again
at
your
door
Le
temps
frappe
à
ta
porte,
encore
et
encore
Opportunities
never
return
Les
opportunités
ne
reviennent
jamais
Remember
you
only
get
back
what
you
give
Rappelle-toi
que
tu
ne
reçois
que
ce
que
tu
donnes
It's
time
to
move
on
for
I'm
starting
over.]
Il
est
temps
d'aller
de
l'avant,
car
je
recommence.
Time,
you
have
everything
Le
temps,
tu
as
tout
Share
it
with
me
Partage-le
avec
moi
Dark
is
the
mystery
Le
mystère
est
sombre
How
silently
the
kestrel
is
flying.
Comme
le
faucon
crécerelle
vole
silencieusement.
He
of
the
watchful
eye
Lui,
l'œil
vigilant
In
careful
pursuit
À
la
poursuite
attentive
We
the
willing
prey
Nous,
les
proies
consentantes
Aware
of
the
danger
Conscients
du
danger
Content
with
our
fate.
Satisfaits
de
notre
sort.
Swift
is
the
kestrel's
flight
Le
vol
du
faucon
crécerelle
est
rapide
Straight
to
the
heart
Droit
au
cœur
Solved
in
a
second's
pause
Résolu
en
une
seconde
de
pause
How
short-lived
our
time
here.
Comme
notre
temps
ici
est
éphémère.
I
envy
the
wild
bird
his
freedom
and
space
J'envie
l'oiseau
sauvage,
sa
liberté
et
son
espace
His
view
of
the
world
far
below
Sa
vue
du
monde
en
contrebas
My
eyes
are
wide
open
to
take
in
the
view
Mes
yeux
sont
grands
ouverts
pour
profiter
de
la
vue
It's
time
to
move
on
for
I'm
starting
over
Il
est
temps
d'aller
de
l'avant,
car
je
recommence
An
experience
entered
can
only
be
gained
Une
expérience
vécue
ne
peut
être
acquise
que
It's
never
forgotten
or
lost
Elle
n'est
jamais
oubliée
ni
perdue
We're
here
for
a
purpose
that
few
of
us
find
Nous
sommes
ici
pour
un
but
que
peu
d'entre
nous
trouvent
It's
time
to
move
on
for
I'm
starting
over.
Il
est
temps
d'aller
de
l'avant,
car
je
recommence.
