Tu Fais Ton Âge

You look your age
Despite all the detours
Despite those around you
Despite the confusion
You look your age
And when you sulk
It stings the pupils
It burns the eardrums
You look your age
I hear on the other end of the line
When you back out
Your voice takes the lead
You look your age
Even though I know very well
That it's not easy
To count the springs

You're not old enough
Where deep in your jeans
Your words are faded
Rightly or wrongly
A spiral
Where your life is upside down
Fallen into the past
No longer sees the horizon
You look your age
The one that belongs to you
The one where respect
Commands admiration
You look your age
Even though I know very well
That it's not easy
To count the seasons

You look your age
The one that suits you Well
He who in exile
Will come running back
You look your age
From the top of your building
I count the floors
Through passions
You look your age
It makes you dizzy
It flies by far too quickly
Time is unforgiving
You look your age
Even though I know very well
That it's not easy
To catch the poison
