Up there in a dusty closet
Among a thousand things I need no more
I saw, a bit worn out and disappointed,
a dear friend of my youth
Some grass blades
with the dried mud
between the nails he seemed to cherish still
He was a military boot
REFRAIN x2
{ Old boot, how much time is passed!
How many illusions you make relive
How many songs on your steps I've sang
that I can't forget
Over the dunes of the infinite desert
Along the shores caressed by sea
Nights and days with you I walked
without ever rest
Up there between the white tops
of eternal immaculate snows facing the sun
We picked edelweisses
to gift them to a far away love
Old boot, like a far time ago,
amidst the mud, with the rain or the sun
maybe you'd be able, if destiny'd have liked,
to walk again.
}
Old boot,
you make me relive
my youth
