Je suis le Christ [English translation]

An angel came to see me awakening from my dreams

To lay his hands on my mouth, to press his lips on mine

Gently against my heart he spoke about you

He said that you were doing well, that you wouldn't come back

Through a sign of his white wings that meant he had to leave

When I was nothing but tears he smiled at me

Day after day the sun has to set

All the most beautiful things on this earth can't replace your mouth

I am the Christ

And you are my cross

And that makes Rome laugh

I am the Christ

Just an idiot, hanging there

Having loved the others too much

I'm walking between crowds that throw stones at me

Just a bleak raft at sea, welcome in hell

And if love has driven nails into my heart

Then only one second of your love is worth centuries of suffering

The deathly angel told me: "The time has come

My child, have no regrets, love is what you lost"

Thus I go to my cross without remorse

Saying to myself that, yes, maybe one day you'll return to me

I am the Christ

And you are my cross

And that, that makes the good peopel of Rome laugh

I am the Christ

Just an idiot, hanging there

Having loved the others too much
