Entre les lignes, entre les mots [English translation]

Tonight the sea is calm, we can see the islands.

The children know their lessons.

I learned songs for the tourists:

your dog is dead, your sister has a boy.

For us, I have no complaints:

we eat very well—we want for nothing.

We eat very well—we want for nothing.

I have so many things to tell you that I cannot find the words.

You must read between the lines, between the words.

Sunday we danced—it was the celebration

but me—I was not invited

because I wait for the open house:

my day of celebration when you will come back to me.

For us, I have no complaints:

we eat very well—we want for nothing.

We eat very well—we want for nothing.

I have so many things to tell you that I cannot find the words.

You must read between the lines, between the words.
