When I was a kid, tall as three apples,
I used to talk a lot to be a man...
I said, I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW...
It was the beginning, it was spring...
But when I turned 18.
I said, I KNOW, that's it, this time I KNOW.
And today, on the days that I turn around...
I'm looking at the ground where I still walked the same distance
And I still don't know how it turns out!
At about 25, I knew everything: love, roses, life, money
Hold on, love! I've been all over it!
And fortunately, like my friends, I hadn't eaten all my bread:
In the middle of my life, I still learned.
What I've learned, it can be summed up in three or four words:
"The day someone loves you, it's a beautiful day,
I can't say it better, it's a beautiful day!
That's still what amazes me about life,
I'm in the fall of my life.
We forget so many nights of sadness...
But never a morning of tenderness!
All my youth, I wanted to say I KNOW
Only, the more I looked, the less I knew...
There's 60 strokes that have struck the clock
I'm still at my window, watching, wondering...
Now I KNOW, I KNOW THAT WE NEVER KNOW!
Life, love, money, friends and roses...
You never know the noise or the color of things...
That's all I know! But this I KNOW... !
