Je t’appartiens [English translation]

Like clay

The fragile insect

The docile slave

I belong to you

Of all my being

You are the only master

I have to submit

I belong to you

(V1)

If you condemn

Throwing my soul

To the hollow of flames

I can do nothing

(V2)

If you condemn

If you damn me

Here is my soul

Here are my hands

With the sorrows

Love and hatred

Flowing in my veins

I belong to you

What can I do

To satisfy you

Owner of the earth

On my way

Like angels

Singing your praises

But I am not an angel

You know that

I am just a man

Nothing but a poor man

I love you

Like a friend

(V1)

Often I think

That in your immense

Palace of silence

You must be good

(V2)

Sometimes I think

That in your immense

Palace of silence

We must be good
