These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Je vois un train venir sur un nuage d'autrefois
I see a train coming on a cloud of yesteryear
Je vois une main tenir des fleurs mais elle n'a pas de doigts
I see a hand holding flowers but it has no fingers
Je vois un chien mourir d'avoir voulu suivre mes pas
I see a dog dying from wanting to follow my footsteps
Je vois l'hiver sourire aux années bleues de l'au-delà
I see winter smiling at the blue years of the beyond
J'entends tomber la pluie dans le jardin des magiciens
I hear the rain falling in the garden of magicians
J'entends des symphonies jouées par mille musiciens
I hear symphonies played by a thousand musicians
J'entends un oiseau gris hurler au vent dans le lointain
I hear a grey bird howling at the wind in the distance
J'entends pleurer la vie dans ma mémoire sans lendemain
I hear life crying in my memory with no tomorrow
Je vois couler des villes au milieu d'océans cachés
I see cities sinking in the middle of hidden oceans
Je vois des yeux qui brillent au silence des grands rochers
I see eyes that shine in the silence of the great rocks
Je vois un jeu de quilles que je ne peux pas faire tomber
I see a game of skittles that I can't knock down
Je vois une petite fille ensevelie au miroir des années
I see a little girl buried in the mirror of the years
Et moi je chante, je chante, je chante
And I sing, I sing, I sing
Je ne sais faire que ça je chante
I can only do that, I sing
De tout mon désespoir je chante, je suis heureux
With all my despair I sing, I am happy
Et moi et moi je chante, je chante, je chante
And I and I sing, I sing, I sing
Je ne sais faire que ça je chante
I can only do that, I sing
De tout mon désespoir je chante, je suis heureux
With all my despair I sing, I am happy
J'entends tomber la pluie dans le jardin des magiciens
I hear the rain falling in the garden of magicians
J'entends des symphonies jouées par mille musiciens
I hear symphonies played by a thousand musicians
J'entends un oiseau gris hurler au vent dans le lointain
I hear a grey bird howling at the wind in the distance
J'entends pleurer la vie dans ma mémoire sans lendemain
I hear life crying in my memory with no tomorrow
J'entends un vieux tambour sonner la charge des statues
I hear an old drum sounding the charge of the statues
J'entends un cri d'amour que je n'ai jamais reconnu
I hear a cry of love that I've never recognized
J'entends les derniers jours frapper à mort ma tête nue
I hear the last days striking to death my bare head
J'entends un troubadour chanter le temps qui ne reviendra plus
I hear a troubadour singing of time that won't come back
Et moi je chante, je chante, je chante
And I sing, I sing, I sing
Je ne sais faire que ça, je chante
I can only do that, I sing
De tout mon désespoir je chante, je suis heureux
With all my despair I sing, I am happy
Je chante, je chante, je chante
I sing, I sing, I sing
Je chante
I sing
Je chante
I sing
Je chante, je chante, je chante
I sing, I sing, I sing
Je ne sais faire que ça je chante
I can only do that, I sing
De tout mon désespoir je chante
With all my despair I sing

troubadour — troubadour
Troubadour refers to a medieval poet and singer, often associated with courtly love and chivalry. It's a word that evokes a sense of history and romance, making it quite unique in modern song lyrics.
In this song, Lenorman sings, "J'entends un troubadour chanter le temps qui ne reviendra plus" (I hear a troubadour singing of time that will not return). This imagery connects the timeless art of storytelling and music with the melancholic theme of lost time, adding a poetic depth to the song's narrative.
