De quelles Amériques [English translation]

From which Americas,

Passing by which Atlantics,

Falling to me from which skies,

Tonight you've come back to me?

Don't tell me anything of it, don't speak,

Since the times, I have changed so much

that I can't recognize you

We are there, hand in hand,

As if we are ageless

you haven't come back from any voyage

We will talk tomorrow...

Look at the road, the kids who run,

you came back. the leaves fly away,

over there, in the courtyard of the small school...

For which ancient story,

Had I forgotten your memory?

For having had which sorrow,

Did you come back tonight?

Don't tell me anything of it, don't speak

You retrace your steps from afar,

if your sun was over there...

your shadow stayed here,

making its nest in silence,

you were here, in your absence

and I was living liked this ....

Look at the road, the trees that move

this girl in the red hood, who has a date

in the dusk. Oh ! you came back....

Stopped at the clock, what time is it?

I don't know.

There was never any time

Don't ask me...

Which past did I go through

when I was thinking of old days

when you were mine?

I would have wanted to be in my place

Oh ! Listen to the wind that passes

I didn't tell you that I love you

I love you very much, I love you...
