A-t-on jamais [English translation]

Do we ever have the words

To convince ourselves to forget?

Walking to the plank

Where do I flee?

Do we ever see the sea

Rear up, to tear us apart?

I wanted to please you

So you would stay by my side.

Alleluia

Go where you see...

The mountains.

Alleluia

Giving all of me

To see you.

On the face so many nights

The disasters of the past.

I forgot to live

To hang a star at my feet.

Too much will your heart say

It's nothing for me to mend.

It is you who has given me life

Tonight I am the key.
