En t'attendant [English translation]

Waiting for you

With my dreams I wove us a private chamber

With my lips I caressed your name

Waiting for you

Waiting for you

I played the Ice Queen, and saw it hurt you

I changed my role, just to stop your tears

Waiting for you

I dressed in chocolate, so I'd be tasty

Desireable to you, like your white steed

Or your castle

Waiting for you

With my daddy, like I was still two years old

I hid myself in his beard, and in his arms

Waiting for you

Life has become sweet like malta

Your father now envelops my shoulders with a scarf

Waiting for you

The children's whimsy, like gusts of wind, brings their laughter

It tempts me in ways that are neither old

Nor trite

Waiting for you

All day I stumble on what

I have been, and what I will be

When I see you

Waiting for you

Together, together, we talk all night

Of whatever we can be

Waiting for you

I learned all the lullabyes to lull you to sleep

I'll even be your pillow, so your dreams will be sweet

Waiting for you

Waiting for you

I dressed in passion that you'll be enthralled by me

Yet comfortable, like in your favorite season

Or on becalmed waters

Waiting for you

Waiting for you

I portrayed the world in your image

With a smoother tone, but not so worldly-wise

Waiting for you

Waiting for you

I've known the cuddles of my mother

I quite believe I'm ready to hold you now.
