Il ne manquait que toi [English translation]

A necklace of bitter oranges

A stole made of glace

An unprayed-for answer

A star made of earth

And within this strange smile

The face of an angel, reminding me that down here

(chorus)

Only you was missing

So the fight wouldn't be fought

I give the tears back

All the tears that none can choose

I give you my soul

If you don't take it

The breath of a singing water

A smell of mint

The gentleness of a slow race

The final waiting

Draw me a mystery

That can't be undone

Reminding me that down here

(chorus)

All my future's reflecting in a mirror of memories

Made me forget that my future is nearly here

Only you was missing

So the fight wouldn't be fought

I take the tears

All the tears of joy we cry

Now that my soul

Remembers you

Only you was missing
