"L'Age Que J'ai"

L’Age Que J’ai
From the album "Comme Vous..."

Quand il est là devant mes yeux
Avec son âme qui crie au feu
J’ai l’âge que je veux
J’ai l’âge que je veux
Quand il est loin et qu’il me fait
Croire que l’amour est ainsi fait
J’ai l’âge que j’ai
J’ai l’âge que j’ai
Je devrais lui dire qu’à l’intérieur
Et sous ma peau j’ai tout un cœur
Et qu’a chaque fois face au malheur
J’ai l’âge qui pleure
Lui dire que chaque jour qui se lève
Malgré la nuit que ca m’enlève
Ma vie ne connaît pas de trêve
J’ai l’âge qui rêve
Quand il me dit qu’il est trop tôt
Pour qu’on en parle avec des mots
J’ai l’âge qu’il faut
J’ai l’âge qu’il faut
Quand il me jure que tout est vrai
Que seule la vérité le sait
J’ai l’âge qui me plaît
J’ai l’âge qui me plaît
Je devrais lui dire que ca me fait pas peur
Si plus d’une fois et plus d’un cœur
A me sentir si prés du bonheur
J’ai l’âge qui pleure
Lui dire qu’a chaque jour qui se lève
Malgré la nuit que ca m’enlève
Dans mon soleil comme dans ma peine
J’ai l’âge qui aime

I’ve the Age

When it is there before my eyes
With one’s soul that screams to the face
I’ve the age that I want
I’ve the age that I want
When it is far and that it does me
To believe that love does thus
I’ve the age that I have
I’ve the age that I have
I will have to tell him that on the inside
And underneath my skin I have all a heart
And that has every time face in the misfortune
I’ve the age to cry
He says that everyday that rises
Despite the night that this takes me away
My life knows not of truce
I’ve the age to dream
When he tells me that he is too early
For that one in speaking with the words
I’ve the age that is necessary
I’ve the age that is necessary
When he swears that all is true
That alone the truth knows it
I’ve the age that pleases me
I’ve the age that pleases me
I will have to tell him that this is doing me no fear
If more of time and more of heart
Has to taste if ready in the happiness
I’ve the age to cry
He says that every day that rises
Despite the night that this takes me away
In my sun as in my sorrow
I’ve the age that loves

I'm sorry, but I just don't understand what she is trying to say. Please help!

I think a bit of it has been lost in translation for me, but it think what she light be getting at is that she's at the age where it matters in the now. Before she was looking into the future and now it's in the now. I have no idea.

Oh, good thought. Or now that you mention it, try replacing the words "I've the age" with "this is the time in my life", as if she is telling of different events in her life and simply stating that "this is the time in my life" that....I want, I have, to cry, to dream, that is necessary, that pleases me, that loves...
Hmmm.
