La lettre [English translation]

Write me a break-up letter

Explaining all the reasons to me

That have caused your nature to fade

That have made me mix up all the seasons

Chose your words wisely, choose the right ones

Like an artisan takes his time

To adjust everything

Write me a break-up letter

Send me only the rough draft

I promise, I will not interpret anything into the things you’ve crossed out

Write me a letter with a pencil

Write it like you would write music

Sacrifice me to the gods

Of long forgotten love affairs

Even if leaving while the other one stays

Hurts your feelings

It could also be an act of kindnes

Unless one of the two lies of course

Write me a break-up letter

Like when one grows tired of using words at home

I will not mark your mistakes

I will not see the mistakes you made in joining the words

I would go and look for them myself

If I wasn’t so sure

Not so sure that I love you

For us forever, for us maybe

Leave me some illusions

When you write me this letter

Don’t sign it or use a wrong signature
