Avant [English translation]

Earlier

I would put my head in the palm of your hands

Just like a child I was not afraid of anything

When my exhausted body would surrender itself

In the deep of the bed where our lives began

Earlier

I would also caress your hair

And my lips knew how to close your eyes

And I could watch you sleeping

Never getting tired of your smile

Earlier

I knew how to make you scream with excitement

And I would find the words that could burn you

And it was all your body that would call my name

When you loved me but it was earlier

Earlier

Everything was beautiful because you where there

These wheat fields that we would fall in now and then

With the splashing sun

Your dancing white dress

Now

I know what is like to have lots of pain

It is hard that you do not know how to cry

How to live without knowing where to go

Now that the love belongs to the past

Earlier

I knew how to make you scream with excitement

And I would find the words that could burn you

And it was all your body that would call my name

When You loved me but it was earlier

Earlier

Everything was beautiful because you where there

These wheat fields that we would fall in now and then

With the splashing sun

Your dancing white

dress...
