60 Falaises Lyrics in English by Terrenoire

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song 60 Falaises by Terrenoire from French to English.
Y a 60 falaises dans chaque minute
There are 60 cliffs in every minute
À chaque battement d'aile, la peur de la chute
With every beat of the wings, the fear of falling
Tu as ce cœur de feu qui se terraforme
You have this heart of fire that terraforms itself
J't'ai vu poursuivre le phoenix, prendre ses larmes
I saw you chasing the phoenix, taking its tears
J't'ai vu mourant, amoureux, sans lumière
I saw you dying, in love, without light
J'ai vu sur toi la mort aller-venir en missionnaire
I saw death come and go on you like a missionary
Laisser des petits éclats d'or au bord de ton cœur
Leaving small golden shards on the edge of your heart
Grand mystère que l'amour recrachait par la mer
Great mystery that love spat back into the sea
J'te vois, gamin de province des lotissements sans phoenix
I see you, kid from a provincial suburb without phoenix
Je sais où t'es, immeuble immense de cité Tetris
I know where you are, huge building in the Tetris city
Maison ouvrière au crépi couleur chair
Working-class house with flesh-colored plaster
Où partout les voitures dorment, allongées à terre
Where everywhere cars sleep, stretched out on the ground
Au beau milieu de la nuit de ta ville enfermée
In the middle of the night of your locked-up city
T'écoutes les seules musiques qui savent te soigner
You listen to the only music that knows how to heal you
Tu t'es souvenu que la beauté sert à chasser la peur
You remembered that beauty is used to chase away fear
Comme le feu chasse l'arrivée des grands prédateurs
Like fire chases away the arrival of great predators
Y a 60 falaises dans chaque minute
There are 60 cliffs in every minute
Le temps s'intensifie, le grand phoenix te bizute
Time intensifies, the great phoenix hazes you
C'est bizarre mais c'est l'moment parfait, le sens-tu?
It's strange but it's the perfect moment, do you feel it?
Pour dérober l'espoir et le rendre centuple
To steal hope and make it a hundredfold
Embrasse la mort, embrasse l'adversaire
Kiss death, kiss the adversary
Tu sentiras jaillir l'orchestre d'ombre et de lumière
You will feel the orchestra of shadow and light burst forth
Celui des milliards de falaises de tes forces contraires
The one of the billions of cliffs of your opposing forces
Ils te donneront tort, t'empêcheront de croire, de faire
They will prove you wrong, prevent you from believing, from acting
Alors détruis la mort, allez détruis l'adversaire
So destroy death, come on destroy the adversary
Le courage et l'amour naissent là en plein milieu du cœur
Courage and love are born right there in the middle of the heart
De tes forces contraires, de tes forces contraires
Of your opposing forces, of your opposing forces
Je t'ai vu mourant, amoureux, puis t'illuminant
I saw you dying, in love, then illuminating
J'ai vu sur toi la mort aller-venir, te faire un enfant
I saw death come and go on you, make you a child
Te faire un enfant feu, embrassant ton phoenix
Make you a fire child, kissing your phoenix
Tu es cette matière vive, qui se terraforme
You are this living matter, that terraforms
À l'infini
To infinity
