Les lacs artificiels [English translation]

All was silence

All was stripped of feeling

The extent of the artificial lakes

Where you hardly see yourself

All was opaque

All was green and intact

The extent of the artificial lakes

Where the grass grows to the water's edge

I was the shadow

Of the reeds which were growing

You remain a wave

Which has put a spell on me

Your hair accompanies me

In the direction that the wind is blowing

I watched the dance

My dress which flew away

All was a sleepless night

Everything was unimportant

The extent of the artificial lakes

In the water the sky saw itself reflected

All was wild

All was damaged too quickly

The extent of the artificial lakes

My body there like a 'cello

Playing the spaces

I agree that I'm lost

Like a child who dares

To put his fingers over the top

You only made it pass

I only made myself dream

At the end of that path

Are we two, abandoned

All was intense

All was what you thought it was

The extent of the artificial lakes

In this eternal contest

The extent of the artificial lakes

The moon watches us

Heaven (the sky) was perhaps

In some way too jealous

I myself stay mute

Until the time that you leave

It has left us that smell

It has left us that story

The extent of the artificial lakes

The extent of the artificial lakes
