Catherine, Catherine, nous avions dix ans
Souvenez-vous, Catherine, au jardin d'enfants
Je vous offrais mes tartines et mes chocolats
Avec mon cœur, Catherine, amoureux déjà
Et quand la nuit refermait leur jardin
Se brisait mon cœur d'enfant
Vous me laissiez seul avec mon chagrin
Vous rêviez au prince charmant
Si je riais Catherine, j'avais dans le cœur
Bien des rires, Catherine, tristes comme des pleurs
Où êtes-vous et le prince charmant
L'avez-vous découvert enfin ?
Il y a toujours nos cœurs et nos prénoms
Gravés sur l'arbre du jardin
Catherine, Catherine, au jardin d'enfants
Catherine, Catherine, nous avions dix ans
Catherine, Catherine, je rêve souvent
Devant d'autres Catherine au jardin d'enfants
Catherine, Catherine et malgré le temps
Je vous attends Catherine comme avant
Au jardin d'enfants, Catherine...
Catherine, Catherine, we were ten years old
Do you remember, Catherine, at school*?
I offered you my tartines** and my chocolates
With my heart, Catherine, already in love.
And when night closed the school
My child's heart would break
You left me alone with my heartache
You were dreaming of Prince Charming
If I laughed, Catherine, it was because in my heart
There were laughs, Catherine, sad as tears
Where are you and Prince Charming,
Have you finally found him?
There will always be our hearts and names
Carved in the kindergarten's tree.
Catherine, Catherine, in the school
Catherine, Catherine, we were 10 years old
Catherine, Catherine, I often dream
In front of others Catherine at school
Catherine, Catherine and after all this time
I am waiting for you, Catherine, as before
At school, Catherine...
