À cœur fendre [English translation]

I forced open the door of hell

I broke the forbidden seal

For you

Diverted the course of a volcano

To warm your shivering arms

For you

The sky is black

Life is somber

It's freezing enough to break stone

I'm cold

I advanced the hour of dawn

I rushed the return of flowers

For you

I cleaned the windows, changed the lightbulb

Smothered the cries of the crowd

For you

The century collapses

Debris, rubble

It's freezing enough to break hearts

I'm cold

There's no longer a sound in the winter garden

We shelter under the contrary branches

Without you, the world

Wavers, succumbs

It's freezing enough to break hearts

I'm cold

(Without you)
