Je n'ai rien vu venir [English translation]

I have seen nothing happen

Neither the curious looks

Which settle on me

Nor the darkening horizon

In the face of all the farewells

Which I have already made

Do you know the void, the void?

I haven’t been able to maintain

My smile, my dimples

Those who count for me

I have seen them leave

Or play the comets

In approaching me

For fear of touching the void, the void

In the void I see nothing

I would like to be

Really invisible

To become in some way

Like a grain of dust

To disappear from your memory

In a halo of light

I didn’t see coming

The anger and my way

Of letting things escape from my hands

The soul of my recollections

Has been able to betray my body

Only the cold remains mine

When you know the void, the void

It is what you carry in yourself

It is who is able to wait

Who knows where to find us

It is what you can believe in

Which can understand us

Which can save us

Save us from the void, the void

In the void

I feel fine

Intrepid and facing my destiny

It’s what will

Sound the alarm

And will give me back

What causes my tears
