Sad Day [English translation]

Stained rivers are rising at ground level

Painting underneath the skin, symbols

Reveal themselves to the moon under its foetal light

And silently release the rays which reveal

The filiform dancers which vanish into the wind

And make fun of us to the point of biting their teeth

To the point of biting their teeth

Sad day, sad day

Let the stretchers

Sad day, sad day

Float on our rivers

Our entire faces turn towards exile

And our arms stretch until they touch the tree tops

We dream ceaselessly, and by letting the free blood

Of forgotten monads flow in our veins,

You feel the storm coming to an end in our heads

The cyclone's eyelids are slowly closing

We call each other again just to forget

To love each other a little at the end of the year

Sad day, sad day

Take out the stretchers

Sad day, sad day

So they may sail away

Sad day, sad day

And since we're the sap

Sad day, sad day

It's up to us to rebuild everything
