Je sais [English translation]

I know the false friends

I know time is passing

I know days of boredom

When I cry before the mirror

I know the wind blows

I know the lights' gold

I know the coldness of graves

In winter mornings

I know all this and so

I know nothing all the same

Of you, who holds my life

Who touches me and loves me

Who touches me and loves me

I know school classes

I know grey mornings

I know how to say the lines

That others have written

I know to cry softly

I know the words of love

I know the sound of steps

That come in the early morning

I know all this and more

But I know nothing all the same

Of you, who brightens my nights

Who holds me and loves me

Who holds me and loves me

I know humility

The feeling of pride

I know how to have been

And I know how to stay alone

I know who talks about me

I know the weight of words

I know to pluck out a star

When it shines behind my back

I know all that, too bad

But I know nothing all the same

Of you, who chose me

Who protects me and who loves me

Who protects me and who loves me
