Elle s'en va [English translation]

She gets up in the shadows

Since her bedroom is dark this morning

It’s early

She puts on her coat

And leaves her building

It’s still dark out

She heads down the boulevard

And goes on her way

The bus driver switches on his headlights for her

And smiles

She watches the countryside go by

As she drifts away from the city

She feels good, driving nowhere

She has lost her memory

Lost in a dream, a vast emptiness consumes her

She goes on her way

The bus pulls up at the beach amidst a thundershower

And she gets off

Standing barefoot in the sand, she looks out onto the ocean with a blank expression

For a moment, she thinks of her children

Recalling images from the past like an old film

And then nothing more
