Que je sois un ange [English translation]

Being an angel,

being a devil,

is just as unbearable,

my heart is alienated,

the music's always changing it

with black and white notes

This isn't really a problem,

it's a dream that flees

to the all new towns

where beggars reign,

my fear is a river

from which the children's tears arise

These songs making my voice weep

aren't mine

they revolve around

an old forgotten love

and all the words expire

because I want to tell you

I'm left speechless,

your eyes tear me up

your stare arrests me,

sad and blue

And I have you, my obscure dream

like among their walls

they're withdrawing, the prisoners

to be shot on the morrow

Being an angel,

being a devil,

is just as unbearable;

I can't change anymore,

in my heart

they're always mixing

the black and white tears
