J'ai pris ton stylo
I took your pen
J'ai pris un moment
I took a moment
J'ai mordu ma lèvre
I bit my lip
Au sang
To the blood
J'avais le coeur gros
I had a heavy heart
Comme un firmament
Like a firmament
Gros comme mes rêves
Big like my dreams
D'avant
From before
Penchée sur la page sans rature
Leaning on the page without erasure
Rédigée par la secrétaire
Written by the secretary
D'une firme aux quatre noms
From a firm with four names
Aux consonances étrangères
Foreign-sounding
Penchée sur la ligne de signature
Leaning on the signature line
Le geste en suspension
The suspended gesture
L'encre levé prête à fuir
The raised ink ready to leak
Une crampe dans
A cramp in
Le creux de la main
The palm of the hand
Et une autre dans
And another in
Les reins
The kidneys
J'savais plus mon nom
I didn't know my name anymore
Découpé du tien
Cut from yours
Étourdis par mon
Stunned by my
Chagrin
Grief
Penchée sur cette feuille aux allures de testament manigancé
Leaning over this sheet that looks like a contrived will
Qu'on fait signer à de pauvres gens faibles et déroutés
That we make poor, weak and confused people sign
J'perdais la raison
I was losing my mind
Je cherchais la façon de te haïr
I was looking for a way to hate you
L'encre prête à tout salir
Ink ready to smear everything
Le poignet crispé
The tensed wrist
J'ai relevé ma manche
I rolled up my sleeve
Ma main moite était toute blanche
My sweaty hand was completely white
J'ai regardée le papier
I looked at the paper
Les phrases était flou
The sentences were blurry
J'ai sentie flancher
I felt like I was failing
Mes genoux
My knees
Fallait-il que je signe à l'envers
Should I sign backwards?
Ce que j'avais signé à l'endroit
What I had signed there
Une petite griffe en antidote
A little claw as an antidote
À celle du vieux contrat
To that of the old contract
T'attendais ma goutte d'encre
You were waiting for my drop of ink
Pareil comme on attend noël
Same as we wait for Christmas
D'l'impatience plein les semelles
Soles full of impatience
J'ai levée les yeux
I looked up
Jusque dans tes yeux
Right into your eyes
J't'ai fixée une bonne fois pour voir c'qui m'restait d'espoir
I stared at you once to see what hope I had left
J'ai mis ton stylo
I put your pen
Sur le papier rude
On rough paper
Le traité de solitude
The treatise on solitude
J'ai signée mon nom
I signed my name
À coté du tiens
Next to yours
Je me suis forcée
I forced myself
La main
The hand
Ta repris ton stylo
You picked up your pen
Puis ton document
Then your document
C'était l'heure de s'dire au revoir mais on savait plus trop comment
It was time to say goodbye but we didn't really know how anymore
Ta pris ton manteau
You took your coat
Ta pris un moment
It took you a while
Ta mordu ta lèvre
You bit your lip
Au sang
To the blood
T'avais l'air émue
You seemed emotional
Comme les yeux dans l'eau
Like eyes in water
J'ai sûrement mal vu
I probably saw it wrong
Sûrement
Certainly
