Une île [English translation]

An island, between the sky and sea

An island, with no men, with no ships

Uncultured, somewhat like an insult

Savage, with no hope of travel

An island, An island, between the sky and sea

It would be there, facing the immense sea

There, with no hope of expectation

All alone facing my destiny

More alone than in the heart of a forest

It would be there, in my own defeat

All alone with no hope of conquest

That I would know finally, why

I left you({namely} France), I who love only you

An island, like a gold target

(The island is) Quiet like a sleeping child

(The island is) Faithful (to me), I'm going to die for her({namely} the island)

(The island is) Cruel, in the virtue of being beatiful

An island, an island, like a sleeping child

It would be there, facing the immense sea

There, to revenge my vengeance

All alone with my memories

More alone at the moment of death

It would be there, in the heart of a St. Helena

Without joy, without love, without hate

That I would know finally, why

I left you, I who love only you

An island, between the sky and sea

An island, with no men, with no ships

Uncultured, somewhat like an insult

Savage, with no hope of travel

An island, this island, my island, it's you
