Le miracle n'est pas fini

Je renaitrai de mes blessures
I will be reborn from my wounds
La mer est là qui me le dit
The sea is there telling me
Je ne serai jamais parjure

A cette nuit
To this night
La mer caresse ton visage
The sea caresses your face
Elle parle doucement de toi
She speaks softly about you
Devais-je t'aimer davantage
Should I love you more
T'ai-je donné assez de moi
Have I given you enough of myself
Un brûlant état sauvage

Un feu secret inassouvi
An unquenchable secret fire
Retrouverons-nous le rivage
Will we find the shore again
Après la nuit

Comme il est fragile et précis

Ce chant qui vient des sirènes

Pour qu'elle ait peur, quelle folie

Qu'au bout du cœur de tragédie

Grand Dieu fallait-il que je t'aime

Dans cette vie

Et j'ai pleuré mille manières
And I cried a thousand ways
Désespéré, abasourdi, face à la mer
Desperate, stunned, facing the sea
Devant les portes de la nuit
Before the gates of night
Mais elle garde ses mystères

Meme en ces soirs d'été
