I'm talking about a time
That the under-20s
Can't know
Montmartre at that time
Hanged his lilacs
Right under our windows
And if the humble garnished
Which served as our nest
Didn't look good
That's where we met
I was screaming famine
And you posing nude
Bohemian, bohemian
That meant
We're happy
Bohemian, bohemian
We only ate every other day
In nearby cafes
There were a few of us
Who was waiting for glory
And although wreeial
With a hollow belly
We don't stop believing it
And when a few bistros
Against a good hot meal
We were taking a canvas
We were reciting worms
Grouped around the stove
Forgetting winter
Bohemian, bohemian
That meant
You are pretty
Bohemian, bohemian
And we all had genius
Often it happened to me
In front of my easel
Spending sleepless nights
Retouching the drawing
From the line of a breast
From the shape of a hip
And it's only in the morning
That we were finally sitting down
In front of a cream coffee
Exhausted but delighted
Was it necessary that we love
And that we love life
Bohemian, bohemian
That meant
We're 20 years old
Bohemian, bohemian
And we lived from the air of the time
When to chance days
I'm going for a walk
At my old address
I don't recognize any more
Neither the walls nor the streets
Who saw my youth
At the top of a staircase
I'm looking for the workshop
Of which nothing remains
In its new setting
Montmartre looks sad
And the lilacs are dead
Bohemian, bohemian
We were young
We were crazy
Bohemian, bohemian
It doesn't mean anything anymore
