Mon ange [English translation]

I have a lump in my throat

A door to push

You must know nothing

Of my agitation

It's a sunny day

But everything is sad in me

And I swore to myself

That I would be strong for you

And all the same, I really believe

That so little is needed

For me to crack and show myself

vulnerable at last

Chorus:

Because I know

That you are going to leave us, my angel

The strange clarity

Of your smile lights up my summer

Because I know

That you are going to leave us, my angel

But how to dare touch you?

I am so afraid to see my hands... trembling

I sit on your bed

In all these enveloping waves

Where you could drown

For an eternity

I'm going to blather

Tell you my castle

Talking is becoming my haunt

And if I am lost for words?

And all the same, I really believe

That so little is needed

For me to crack and show myself

vulnerable at last

Chorus:

And if I was too craven

To see the truth

And to accept it with courage

How do you do it?

Because I know

That you are going to leave us, my angel

The strange clarity

Of your smile lights up my summer

I know

That you are going to leave everything, my angel

And so far from me fly...

I know it

That you are going to leave us, my angel

The strange clarity

Of your smile lights up my summer

I know

That you are going to leave us, my angel

But how to dare touch you?

So much I am afraid to see my hands... trembling
