The People
How they looked at us, the people
We didn’t see the people
To us, they were invisible
We ignored the people
We were alone in the world
How rushed the people were
But we strolled, lost in dreams
A bright sun
Flooded our world…
How sad the people were
Because they didn’t know, the people
That flowers covered the pavement
That spring was born
Right in the heart of autumn
How surprised the people were
Maybe a little jealous, the people
Of lovers who said "always"
And who talked about love
Without caring about the people
How they looked at us, the people
We didn’t see the people
We looked into each other’s eyes
It was dizzying
It was the great shipwreck
They were fascinated, the people
They had never seen the people
Such madness, such lovers
So indifferent
To the people and their age
How funny the people were
How they looked down, the people
When we embraced
When we kissed
Saying "I love you"
How rushed the people were
But they turned around, the people
To see again these two lovers
Who loved each other so much
Making the people dream
How they looked at us, the people
We didn’t see the people
How rushed the people were
We didn’t see the people
How they turned around, the people
We didn’t see the people…
