French (Original)
The life ahead of us
Click to see the original lyrics (French)
Take a train to the coast
Upon the ferry boat
Take a seat
Run behind the coach
And in the black night
Think about that
The life ahead of us
Ahead of us
Speak with a face
At the fifth floor
Listen to her
Feel like you’re alive
Like the others before
Before you
The life ahead of us
Ahead of you

The title may well be drawn from the novel "La vie devant soi" by Romain Gary, usually translated as "The life before us". I have avoided "before" to avoid confusion as the meaning here is "in front", and not the opposite which "before" can also mean.
