À l'aube revenant [English translation]

As they near dawn again, lovers get up,

still soaked in the dream they alight from.

Every gesture is urgent, since the day breaks.

The storm comes to an end in passionate whispers.

As they near dawn again

They got lost in deep darkness,

now the stars melt into the breaking dawn.

Their faltering steps evoke the end of the world.

One more second... One more moment...

As they near dawn again

Two hearts let off a sigh, ripping from each other.

A hand lets go and gets grabbed by another.

In their eyes, the helplessness of newly set free birds

looking in anguish for some hidden trap.

As they near dawn again

Soon as life forces them apart

comes emptiness, dizziness, pretend.

They cover each other in oaths, swearing to keep

jumping on stones across every stream.

As they near dawn again

They'll go their separate ways, pursuing

the only dream that uplifts and keeps them alive.

They thought their bond to be eternal,

and even eternity was too short for them.

As they near dawn again

They were two passers-by in a faceless crowd,

in this flowing river, in the mass of people.

They acknowledged each other, maybe a bit too late,

but true acknowledgement is what really matters.

As they near dawn again, lovers get up,

still soaked in the dream they alight from...
