Comme une maladie [English translation]

Like a sickness

An unknown fever

One day occurred

In my life

To mess with my mind

To break my heart

With a gnawing pain

Endless

Incurable

Incurable

That scares me

Like a sickness

Like an unknown evil

Like a lassitude tinged

with madness

Slipped under my skin

Despite myself, took away

The purpose of my joys

And the words

That I had used

Although they never crossed

My mind

I lost my strength and my laughter

Saw the glow of my eyes growing pale

Consumed by this mysterious

Evil that is tearing me apart

Like a sickness

That would wear my body down

That still no science

can cure

That agitates and invades me

Makes me feverish day and night

Leaves me hopeless, helpless

Because I am

Incurable

Incurable

Of your love
