L'amour est un soleil [English translation]

I opened my window

To let the sun in

While you were sleeping

so deeply

I made black coffee

To see if I was not dreaming

I did not want to believe

To believe once more

Love is a sun

Which has often warmed my heart

But when it burns too hard

It scares me

You come,

And you make me want to live,

me who, yesterday,

Wanted to throw myself into the void

I wake

To the sweetness of another body,

And love is a sun,

Which shines once more on my days

We'll make ourselves a world

Where we'll take one another by the hand

You, you will give me

The strength to go further

Love is a sun

Which often burned my wings

But tell me that, with you,

It won't be the same.
