En t'attendant [English translation]

I wink to the clouds

I flutter my eyelashes

I challenge the biggest storms

umbrella in exile1

I splash into the freshwater

a bit awkwardly

I make sand castles in the foam

they are ephemeral and not upright

[chorus]

time (is to) take all the time you need

And I lose all of mine2

I invent childish games

I make some3 with nothing

time (is to) have a good time

And I am bored with mine

I invent games that are worth nothing

I make few things but I make them good

While I am waiting for you

while I am waiting for you

I make bubbles in the rose water

I'm drowning myself for love4

on the horizon of gloomy nights

to gods I go,I run,

I create circles by smoking5

with my cigarettes

I let the good years to burn out

but I do that only inside my mind

I am splitting the ground

with indian ink

melodies for school days,

easy ones and without thorns

I make swirls in the bath

twenty thousand leagues under the sea

I pour in the water your perfume

it sinks and then I (go out to) take some air

[chorus]

And you from time to time6

you will pass in mine

we will play like kids

(with) the sun in our mornings

waiting

waiting

And you occasionally

you will pass in mine

we will play pretending maybe

And we will do that well

1. she doesn't use her umbrella2. it means that she loses all of her time3. a small quantity4. here indicates a particular love,the love for him(the person that she is waiting for)5. when smoking in a way that the smoke creates a shape like rings6. the expression from time to time is equivalent to "sometimes"
