Immortels [English translation]

I never told you it

but we are immortal.

Why did you go away

before I informed you?

Did you already know it?

You already guessed

that some gods were hiding

under a bibulous face?

Mortals, mortals,

we are immortal.

I never told you it,

But we are immortal.

Did you see these lights,

These summer outfitters,

These barrier lifters?

All these dried-up tears,

These received kisses,

Did you know they last?

That in biting our own mouth,

was coming back their taste?

Mortals, mortals,

we are immortal

I never told you it,

but we are immortal.

Did you feel that sometimes

Nothing really ending?

Whether we're there or not,

Even though we'd be there.

You who are no longer here,

it's like if you were

more immortal than me.

But I follow you closely.

Mortals, mortals,

we are immortal.

I never told you it,

but we are immortal.

Mortals, mortals,

we are immortal.

I never told you it,

but we are immortal ...
