Je cherche l'ombre [English translation]

I search the shadows, to dance with you, my love

With this ancient music that returns in memory

When the sun goes out and the night returns

I search the shadows, to shelter ourselves, my love

To discover your body, far from all light

And to love you again like a stranger

I search the shadows, to extinguish the fire, my love

That devours my soul and burns in my veins

Of this notorious desire that unleashes itself in me

I search the shadows, to cry with you, my love

Over this too-short life that slips through our fingers

And that eats the days as I grow apart from you

I search the shadows

I search the shadows, as one searches for a friend, my love

Who will take us by the hand, without tears, without sorrow

To take us elsewhere, to conceal our happiness

To conceal our happiness

And I search the shadows

And I search the shadows

I search the shadows...
