Loin devant [English translation]

Far beyond 1

The dark and brooding horizon

Place me far beyond

In a calm and tranquil house

I hear

The world singing

Under the bowing trees

Out front

Coming down

Golden lights

Draw a picture of us inside

In light airy clothes

I hear

The doves playing

The peace is well hidden

Inside

Simply

After so much, so much fog

Our eyes will truly light up, truly…

Truly

Inevitably

Under real crescent moons

The children will be able to dream different dreams…

Different dreams

Far beyond

The dark and brooding horizon

Place me far beyond

A lane, a footpath

A ribbon

Tables loaded with white bread

Simply

After so much, so much fog

Our eyes will truly light up, truly…

Truly

Inevitably

As we’ll have no more tears

At last we’ll see the world differently

Differently

Far beyond

The dark and brooding horizon

Place me far beyond

In a calm and tranquil house

I hear it...

1. Strictly 'devant' means 'ahead' but I'm allowing a little poetic licence
