My Lomo & Me [English translation]

I rent hotel rooms on high floors

I stare at unknown people through my window

Before capturing them

I dress them with lots of "maybe"

It's the enterntainment of the lonely

I take pictures of happy people

To try to look like them

I admire that shine in their eyes

And study it to develop it

I rent hotel rooms on high floors

I like mischievous little faces

Their scarred smiles

Clumsy, lazy, fragile or repressed

I take pictures of happy people

On the paper, their rays are visible

Nothing's more precious to me

Than this spark decorated with silk

But if I see

Through my foggy head

The shadow of a thunderstorm

Far in a household

I draw the curtains and jump on the roof

To look at the pictures of you and me, Lomo

I take pictures of happy people

To try to look like them

I admire that shine in their eyes

And study it to develop it

I take pictures of happy people

To try to look like them

I admire that shine in their eyes

And study it to develop it

I take pictures of happy people

On the paper, their rays are visible

Nothing's more precious to me

Than this spark decorated with silk
