Fais-moi une place [English translation]

Make me a place

At the bottom of your bubble

And if I annoy you

If I'm too useless

I'll become

All pale, all mute, lifeless

So you can forget me

Make me a place

At the bottom of your heart

So I can kiss you

When you cry

I'll become

All crazy, just like a clown, kind

So you can smile

I hope that you're never in pain

That you're never cold

And everything looks the same to me

Everything -- except you

I love you

Make me a place

In your future

So I can rehash

My memories less

I will never act

Disinterested, haughty

So you can be well

Make me a place

In your emergencies

In your boldness

In your confidence

I'll never be

Distant, distracted, cruel

So you can have wings

I don't want you to get bored

I don't want you to be afraid

I'd like you to forget

The taste of misfortune

I love you

A little place

Here, now

Because time passes

With the steps of a giant

I'll make myself

All new, all beautiful, all that. . .

To be yours

I'll make myself

All new, all beautiful, all that. . .

To be yours
