Je l'aime à mourir [English translation]

Me, I was nothng

and look how today

I'm the guardian

of her sleep at night,

I love her to death.

You can destroy

anything you like,

she just has to open

the space between her arms

to rebuild it all,

to rebuild it all.

I love her to death.

She's rubbed out the numbers

on the clocks in the district.

She has made my life

into orgami birds,

bursts of laughter,

she's build bridges

between us and heaven

and we cross them

each time she

doesn't want to sleep,

doesn't want to sleep.

I love her to death.

She must have fought all the battles

to be so strong today,

she must have fought all the battles

of life, and of love too.

She lives her milk-glass life

as well as she can.

She dances in the middle

of the forests she paints.

I love her to death.

She wears ribbons

that she allows to fly away.

She tells me often

that I'm wrong to try

to retain them,

to retin them.

I love her to death.

To get into her grotto

hidden beneath the roofs

I have to pin notes

to my wooden clogs.

I love her to death.

I have to just sit down,

I mustn't speak,

I mustn't want anything,

I must just try

to belong to her,

to belong to her.

I love her to death.

She must have fought all the battles

to be so strong today,

she must have fought all the battles

of life, and of love too.

Me, I was nothng

and look how today

I'm the guardian

of her sleep at night,

I love her to death.

You can destroy

anything you like,

she just has to open

the space between her arms

to rebuild it all,

to rebuild it all.

I love her to death.
