Jean Gabin - Maintenant je sais

When I was a kid no taller than three apples
I spoke quite hard to look man
and kept repeating : I know , I know , I know , I know.

It was in the beginning, I was spring .
Then when I turned 18 I said :
This is it This time I know for sure .
Today , looking back to the past
see the ground on which I have walked hundreds of times
and I realize that we still do not know how it rotates .
25 years already knew everything
love the scent of roses , life, money ...
Oh yes, love. I got to know it from all sides.
Fortunately I was not like my friends
can be said that there was bread in me.
In mid- life, I learned something else.
What I learned fits in 4-5 words:
The day that someone loves you is wonderful .
It could not be said better -
just wonderful .
That is what continues to surprise me
me, who am in the autumn of life :
forget so sad nights
but never one only gentle morning .
When I was young, I always wanted to say I know
but the more I was looking for , still less understood .
Now when the clock chimed 60
I'm at the window , watching and wondering .
Now I know . I know I never knew.
Life , love, money , friends and roses ...
You never know neither sound nor color of things.
That's all I know. But I know it.
