Текст и перевод песни Barbara - Le Bel Age

Le Bel Age

Il avait presque vingt ans.
Fallait, fallait voir
Sa gueule: c'était bouleversant.
Fallait voir pour croire,
A l'abri du grand soleil.
Je l'avais pas vu venir.
Ce gosse, c'était une merveille
De le voir sourire.

Voilà que, timidement,
Le Jésus me parle
De tout, de rien, de sa maman.
Tu parles, tu parles.
J'aime beaucoup les enfants.
J'ai l'esprit de famille
Mais j'ai dépassé le temps
De jouer aux billes.

Il avait presque vingt ans
Et la peau si douce.
J'ai cueilli du bout des dents
La fleur de sa bouche
Et j'ai feuilleté pour lui
Un livre d'images
Qu'était pas du tout écrit
Pour les enfants sages.

Tant de jours et tant de nuits.
Donne, mais je te donne,
Lui pour moi, et moi pour lui
Et nous pour personne
Mais il fallait bien qu'un jour,
Je perde mes charmes.
Devant son premier amour,
J'ai posé les armes.

Elle avait presque vingt ans.
Fallait, fallait voir
Sa gueule: c'était bouleversant.
Fallait voir pour croire
Ils avaient tous deux vingt ans
Vingt ans, le bel âge...

The Golden Age

He was nearly twenty.
You had to see
His face: it was breathtaking.
It had to be seen to be believed,
Sheltered from the bright sun.
I had not seen him coming.
This boy was a wonder
To see him smile.

Suddenly, timidly,
The little Jesus speaks to me
About everything, about nothing, about his mother.
You talk, you talk.
I like children a lot.
I have a family spirit
But I am past the age
Of playing marbles.

He was nearly twenty
And his skin was so soft.
I plucked with my teeth
The flower of his mouth
And I flicked through for him
A picture book
That was not written at all
For good children.

So many days and so many nights.
Give, but I will give you,
Him for me, and me for him
And we are for no one
But one day, it had to happen,
I would lose my charm.
Faced with his first love,
I laid down my arms.

She was nearly twenty.
You had to see
Her face: it was breathtaking.
It had to be seen to be believed.
They were both twenty years old,
Twenty years old, the golden age...
