Etre, renaitre ma naissance
To be, to be reborn my birth
Dans une aube de craie
In a chalk dawn
Sous la lune de sang
under the blood moon
Aux termes d'un hiver mourant
At the end of a dying winter
Etre, émerger du silence
To be, to emerge from the silence
Voir briller au soleil
See it shine in the sun
Les givres de mon cœur
The frosts of my heart
Présage d'un printemps meilleur
Harbinger of a better spring
Etre le fruit et la semence
To be the fruit and the seed
Dans un sol épuisé
In a depleted ground
Et fleurir en exil
And bloom in exile
Comme un arbre éclaté d'avril
Like an April burst tree
Etre, apprendre à me connaitre
To be, to get to know me
Garder les yeux ouverts
keep your eyes open
Et n'etre rien qu'un etre
And be nothing but a being
De chair
of flesh
Pour aimer jusqu'à la mort
To love until death
Et au-delà peut-etre
And maybe beyond
Etre l'âme séparée du corps
To be the soul separated from the body
Pour aimer jusqu'à la mort
To love until death
Meme au-delà encore
Even beyond still
Etre la voix de mes naufrages
To be the voice of my shipwrecks
Le verbe retrouvé
The verb found
Lavé de tout défaut
Cleansed of all flaws
Epousant le chemin des mots
Following the path of words
Etre, échapper au chantage
To be, to escape blackmail
De tous les lieux communs
Of all the commonplaces
Eteindre mes volcans
Turn off my volcanoes
Dompter et chevaucher mon temps
Tame and ride my time
Etre le geste qui engage
Be the gesture that commits
L'avenir repensé
The future reimagined
Artisan du retour
Returning Craftsman
Au simple rituel d'amour
To the simple ritual of love
Etre, mourir pour mieux renaitre
To be, to die in order to be reborn
Des mensonges d'antan
Lies of yesteryear
Et n'etre rien qu'un etre
And be nothing but a being
Vivant
Alive
Pour aimer jusqu'à la mort
To love until death
Et au-delà peut-etre
And maybe beyond
Etre l'âme séparée du corps
To be the soul separated from the body
Pour aimer jusqu'à la mort
To love until death
Meme au-delà encore
Even beyond still
