Partis pour rester [English translation]

There’s someone else in the looking glass

Between the potions and the creams

All the little pots which pile up

You see, time has passed even so

We believed we were treading water

Ah that, we took some pain over it

We spend ourselves, we struggle

And even with a queen’s steps

The big hand moves

We’re going to target eternity

We are so comfortable here

We’re going to do everything as if

We were here to stay

Between the bumps in the road

The set-backs, the dead-ends

The long nights, the short days

And all that scratches the surface

We fall each one in turn

Between the raptor’s claws

The only remedy is love

Besides, that’s why we run

From one end of space to other

We’re going to target eternity

We are so comfortable here

We’re going to do everything as if

We were here to stay

Stay, stay, stay

We’re not even hurried

Stay, stay, stay

In a corner of my mind

A lifetime embracing you

A thousand times started over

And that’s why we’re going to stay

Stay, stay

I would have like to bring it to you

On a beautiful lace cushion

The nook where the keys are hidden

To the eternal mechanism

But the clock is out of reach

And it isn’t there that the essence lies

It can continue to turn

And it can take everything away

I find you more beautiful every day

We’re going to target eternity

We are so comfortable here

We’re going to do everything as if

We were here to stay

Stay, stay, stay

We are far from worn-out

Stay, stay, stay

In a corner of my mind

A life embracing you

A thousand time started over

We’re going to stay, stay, stay

We’re not even hurried

Stay, stay, stay

For those that we’ve hurt

That we should have embraced

Might as well start all over again

We’re going to target eternity

We are so comfortable here

We’re going to do everything as if

We were here to stay
