Elie [English translation]

He looked at you

Then he smiled to me

It had been so long

Since he had said anything

There was almost a century

Keeping you apart

Down his cheek

A tear rolled

He tool at arm's length

In a burst of laughter

You, baby, you took his finger

As if you wanted to hold him back

Then he told you

Of that past life

He told you about

Yours, which was just beginning

All of your anger

All of your sorrows, your joys

Your most beautiful wars

Those which we don't win

And then his eyes fell

Slowly on each of us

And each of us could read in them

Some words for tomorrow

To live to be able to live again

That is your only duty

The duty to talk to remain free

The duty of your memory

His eyes sang 'thanks, thanks,

I'm not afraid of leaving anymore'

And then came Celine,

The one he loved so much

She'd been loving only him

For sixty-two years

He looked at her

No need for words

His eyes told her

'Don't make me wait too long...'
