Proverbes [English translation]

They say that

Thinking up an ideal situation is far from achieving it [the cup is far from the lips].

And that out of sight is out of mind [far from the eyes is far from the heart]

But I'm thirsty for your heat

And if you don't return I'll burst

It's impossible to reason with someone who is starving [a hungry stomach has no ears]

But I'm hungry and I'm still listening

I'm hungry for you and I'm waiting for you

While sleeping on my decisions [in the night which brings advice]

They say that

It's those closest to you who betray you

But I don't want to believe it

I have belief in you and my hope

Is to tell myself that you return.

There are plenty of other potential partners [one is lost, 10 are found]

And out of sight, out of mind

But I don't want to forget you

Because my heart is a watch that's always giving the right time

I beg you to come back to me, come back

With you I want to see tomorrow

Because without you

The morning is in darkness

They say that

All that glitters is not gold

Always watch out for the quiet ones [beware of the sleeping water]

But you're the light in my night time

I would like you to become my wife

You must take your pleasure where you find it

But my pleasure doesn't exist without you

Without you I don't want to take a step

And all the others disapprove of me

They say that

It's time that makes the song (1)

And that sleeping on it brings wisdom [the night brings advice]

But you see that they are wrong

I don't sleep at night, I watch

All's well that end's well

I'd really like to listen to them;

To believe that they're telling the truth

They say that you will be there tomorrow

I beg you to return to me, return

With you I want to see tomorrow

Because without you the morning is in darkness.
