Avant toi [English translation]

There are whole days

when I'm drowning under a load.

Never making it through,

always turning my back

before you.

Before you, let me tell you that

this means to train legs,

to acknowledge the pain,

to be in despair,

that something else occurs

before you do.

Before you speak, let me tell you.

Before you came, there was something.

Probably a prelude,

a long golgotha

too harsh.

Before you [came], there was nothing

or something smaller than my body.

Before you [come in], it recalls in its memory

that it feels dead inside.

This means to battle yourself,

to sing within the desert

for everything existing.

All these sights, all these winds.

Before you.

Before you speak, let me tell you.

Before you came, there was something,

a routine

of empty words.

And then, the explosion.

Before you, there was nothing,

not even my knees.

They've never felt

so much empty or cold.

Before you came, there was something.

Probably a prelude,

a long golgotha

too harsh.

Before you [came], there was nothing

or something smaller than my body.

Before you [come in], it recalls in its memory

that it feels dead inside.

Before you, there was something,

an immense scene in particular.

Too vast for me

and with much dance afterwards.

Before you, there wasn't anything

or any reason my life

started every morning

or everyday to see you.
