Attends que le temps te vide [English translation]

Wait

Till time gobbles you

Like an egg

Crawl out of your shell

Like a dog

In a china shop

Forget where you come from

Iron and railings

The new building

A sort of weapon shines

In your hand

On the dampish wall

Chart

Your own way

But keep in mind

That time will transform you

Yes, keep in mind

That time

Wait

Till life grabs you

In its hand

Till your fist breaks

Against its own

You've got into the habit

They know where you come from

But iron and railings

It's a door that finally opens

The shadow of a girl

Running along a train

In that game of skittles

They point at you

You are done for

But keep in mind

That time wil transform you

Yes, keep in mind

That time

In that game of skittles

They point at you

Iron and railings

The new building

At dawn they dress you

You stand up

And walk towards

The shining post, it's all over

But keep in mind

That time wil transform you

Yes, keep in mind

That time
