Au jardin des sans pourquoi [English translation]

Let's go back before the war

Before the end

Before the need of all those prayers

No evil

No good

No crooked word

Nor slick words that we say when we don't know

Under a blue sky, cloudless sky

Let's go back there

Stormless

Let's go back there

To the whyless garden

I saw you walking there

Under the rainbow

Bright as a spark in the night

Or I also saw you

Falling from the sky

Like a St Lawrence tear, vanishing

In a blue sky, cloudless sky

Let's go back there

Stormless

Let's go back there

To the whyless garden
