Mon meilleur amour [English translation]

Here come the dawn with its stinging knives,

A bite with all teeth out1

A blade against the mirror,

Not a single sound, but I'm screaming inside

Here comes the dawn with its waves in the air,

An opening at the bottom of its soul

Against the sky soars the eagle,

Some trouble in its body,

Some absent dream

[Chorus]

I let my best love get away,

My best love,

One of these days

I let my best love get away,

My best love,

Forever

I let my best love get away,

My most beautiful love,

One of these days

I let my best love get away,

My perfect love,

Forever

Here comes the dawn with its freezing cut

The doe slowly comes back

To the base of my tower, in its place,

Kneeling like a child

[Chorus]

La, la, la, la, la

La, la, la, la, la

Forever...

I let her go [x2]

Forever
