Lyrics & translation
Verse
Un paquet neutre sur la table
A plain package on the table
Un imperméable jaune et gris
A raincoat in yellow and gray
Cadeau de noces un peu étrange
A wedding gift a bit strange
On l’a posé dans l’oubli
We left it there forgotten
Chorus
Le secret dans la doublure
The secret in the lining
Une promesse écrite à la main
A handwritten promise inside
On partira voir le monde
We will go see the world
Demain nous appartient enfin
Tomorrow finally belongs to us
Verse
Les mois ont passé sans un bruit
Months passed without a sound
La pluie a frappé le carreau
Rain tapped on the window pane
J'ai glissé ma main par hasard
I slid my hand by chance
Dans le repli du manteau
Inside the fold of the coat
Chorus
Le secret dans la doublure
The secret in the lining
Une promesse écrite à la main
A handwritten promise inside
On partira voir le monde
We will go see the world
Demain nous appartient enfin
Tomorrow finally belongs to us
Verse
Une lettre de notre tante lointaine
A letter from our faraway aunt
Je vous attends dans ma maison du sud
I await you in my southern home
L'aventure est dans la poche
Adventure is in the pocket
Sous un morceau de tissu
Under a piece of cloth
Chorus
Le secret dans la doublure
The secret in the lining
Une promesse écrite à la main
A handwritten promise inside
On partira voir le monde
We will go see the world
Demain nous appartient enfin
Tomorrow finally belongs to us
