Je l'aime à mourir [English translation]

Me I was nothing

But today

I am the keeper

Of her nights' sleep

I love her to death

You can destroy

Anything you'd like

She will only need to open

Her arms

To rebuild everything

To rebuild everything

I love her to death

She erased the numbers

From the area's clocks

She transformed my life into

Paper hens

Bursts of laughter

She built bridges

Between us and the sky

And we cross them

Everytime she

Doesn't want to sleep

Doesn't want to sleep

I love her to death

She must have been part of every war

To be so strong today

She must have been part of every war

Life's and love's also

She lives as well as she can

Her opalin dream

She dances in the middle

Of the forests she draws

I love her to death

She wears ribbons

That she let's fly away

She often sings to me

That I am wrong to try

To hold them back

To hold them back

I love her to death

To come up to her cave

Hidden beneath the roofs

I have to nail notes

To my wooden clogs

I love her to death

I must only sit

I must not talk

I must not want anything

I must only try

To belong to her

To belong to her

I love her to death
