Sublime et silence [English translation]

Sublime and silence

Around me you dance

And I forget.

It's you who I think of,

Of your burning lips

When you smile.

Emptiness would be enough

Emptiness would be enough

Sublime and silence

Around you all trembles

And all ends.

It's me you think of,

Of our white drunkenness

Where Paris flees.

Emptiness would be enough

Emptiness would be enough

But I know that you're there,

In the flowers I leave you

After the night.

Violence and promises,

All you despise,

Death too.

Emptiness would be enough

Emptiness would be enough

I caress your absence,

The mountain, the wandering,

And then boredom.

The river ressembles you,

At least in appearance,

And yet you flee.

Emptiness would be enough

Emptiness would be enough

But I know that you're there,

In the flowers I leave you

After the night.

Violence and promises,

All you despise,

Death too.

Emptiness would be enough

Emptiness would be enough
