Mon ombre [English translation]

My drama, it's my shadow

A shadow, a veiled giant

Who climbs and who pushes along my body

Like bad ivy, like a bad spell

My drama, it's my shadow

It's the devil who stitched it to my feet

My drama, it's my shadow

Was it the devil the day I was born?

My drama, it's my shadow

A shadow deep as the night

Who growls and purrs

When I give it my fear of being alone

My fear of failing

My drama, it's my shadow

It's the devil who stitched it to my feet

My drama, it's my shadow

Was it the devil the day I was born?

My drama, it's my shadow

A spectacular sprawling shadow

Who spits his thick and rancid ink

On what was left of my hopes

My drama, it's my shadow

It's the devil who stitched it to my feet

My drama, it's my shadow

Was it the devil the day I was born?

My drama

It's my shadow

My drama, it's my shadow
