Je reviens de loin [English translation]

A fragile moment

rests in your hands.

All of my life slips away,

I return from afar.

I built some ruins,

took some wrong roads—

as you might guess,

I return from afar.

Caught in the headwinds,

locked inside of my winters,

I was alone.

You come get me,

bring me back at last.

Like a prayer,

I awaited your light to arrive,

that we hold hands

and finally reunite—

to reach land

when we were lost at sea.

You are the country

that changes my fate.

I return from afar.

Yeah, yeah-eh.

~~~~~

I hid hurt

in the shelter of humans—

ancient sorrows

for which he knew how to care.

Then to cross your path

and your sincere gaze

because with all my doubts,

I return from afar.

Caught in the headwinds,

locked inside of my winters,

I was alone.

You come get me,

bring me back at last.

Like a prayer,

I awaited your light to arrive,

that we hold hands

and finally reunite—

to reach land

when we were lost at sea.

You are the country

that changes my fate.

I return from afar.

There will always be

long roads out there.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

If I fall down once more,

I beg you,

hold me close.

Ooh—oh—oh-oh.

Like a prayer,

I awaited your light to arrive,

that we hold hands

and finally reunite—

to reach land

when we were lost at sea.

You are the country

that changes my fate.

I return from afar.
