The red bracelets at the pool 
I spent ages looking at them
The girls just in front of the changing rooms
Who catch, drop the baskets 
It's good, okay, I'm older than fifteen 
A summer in a city 
Of seventy-eight thousand 
And five-hundred-forty-three inhabitants 
The departure of Lucile 
I swim in there thinking 
Alone in the city's heart, I'm waiting 

Mixture of shampoo and urine 
Faintly on the small blue tiles 
As soon my shoulders dripped  
The bracelet untied, I return it
It's fine, okay, I'm older than fifteen 
A summer in a city 
Of seventy-eight thousand 
And five-hundred-forty-three inhabitants 
The evenings without Lucile 
I swim in there thinking 
Alone in the city's heart, I'm waiting 

And in the reflection of the sedan 
A bronzing, a little different
In the eyes of the girls from the changing rooms 
I am very old, I'm so white 
It's fine, okay, I'm older than fifteen 
A summer in a city 
Of seventy-eight thousand 
And five-hundred-forty-three inhabitants 
Alone in the city's heart, I'm waiting
