Mes jours passent, mes nuits pleurent
My days pass, my nights cry
Et pleure le temps
And cry over time
Ma raison sombre et se meurt
My reason sinks and dies
Quand meurt le temps
When time dies
Ce temps mort que je regrette
This downtime that I regret
Tant et tant
So much and so much
Car sans joie ma vie s'arrête
Because without joy my life ends
Et je t'attends
And I'm waiting for you
J'attends l'air que je respire
I wait for the air I breathe
Et le printemps
And spring
J'attends mes éclats de rire
I wait for my bursts of laughter
Et mes vingt ans
And my twenty years
Mes mers calmes et mes tempêtes
My calm seas and my storms
En même temps
At the same time
Car sans joie ma vie s'arrête
Because without joy my life ends
Et je t'attends
And I'm waiting for you
Je t'attends
I am waiting for you
Viens ne tarde pas
Come don't delay
D'où que tu viennes, qui que tu sois
Wherever you come from, whoever you are
Viens le temps est court
Come, time is short
Je t'attends
I am waiting for you
Mon rêve inconnu
My unknown dream
Quel est ton nom, quel est ton but
What is your name, what is your purpose
Le mien c'est l'amour
Mine is love
Pour que mes jours se transforment
So that my days are transformed
Et que vraiment
And that really
Ma vie par toi prenne forme
My life takes shape through you
A chaque instant
Every moment
Parce que le vide me hante
Because the void haunts me
Avec mon sang
With my blood
Comme un peintre je t'invente
Like a painter I invent you
Et je t'attends
And I'm waiting for you
Mes doigts par petites touches
My fingers in small touches
Font tes dents
Make your teeth
Avant de croquer ta bouche
Before you bite your mouth
Éperdument
Head over heels
Mais ces rêves ne me laissent
But these dreams don't leave me
Que tourments
What torments
Car je traîne ma détresse
Because I drag my distress
Et je t'attends
And I'm waiting for you
