Je croyais [English translation]

I thought

Nothing more could confront me.

But suddenly, what has happened?

Around me, everything has changed.

Suddenly,

I am no more the man I used to be

And I don't know any more where I go.

Inside me, everything becomes untied.

The coming night left me helpless.

Inside me, I know it, something has broken.

I thought

I was the master of my destiny

But my life is slipping out of my hands

And I am sure of nothing, yet.

The coming night let me helpless.

Inside me, I know it, something has broken.

I thought

Life was an easy game to play

But I have to begin everything again.

Around me, everything has changed.

The coming night let me helpless. -- night leaves me helpless or renders me helpless
