Je t'écris [English translation]

I write to you about the pavements

About our cities dressed for Christmas

About some winter nights

With a bitter-sweet taste

I write to you about these evenings of lights

About the amazed eyes of this little girl

At the foot of a tall fir tree

On 5th Avenue

I write to you about a departure

About a forgotten suitcase

I write to you about a white lake

Where this couple skates

I write to you about a desert

Where the wreckage of a ship remembers the sea

I write to you about a land

Where houses are crumbling

I write to you about Venice

Where the lovers are waking up

To the sound of the old bell-towers

Maybe it will snow again this year

I write to you about the sea, off Gibraltar,

Eyes towards Tangier

I write to you about Africa

Where people die in their thousands

From the four corners of the earth

I write to you about trenches of abandoned wars

I write to you about a kiss, about this bench in Paris

Where two lovers embrace in their eternity

And who nothing and no one could disturb

I write to you about a cafe, about the wing of a plane

Where our memories embrace in your eternity

And that no one and nothing could take me away from

I write to you about the skies of the fourth world

Where the bodies of starving children, so light,

Lift up without making a sound

I write to you about the street where there is dancing and singing

I write to you about the pen tray of a lonely old man in a forgotten room

I write to you on behalf of these impotent gods

in whose names we kill

I write to you about the hand of these men

About peace that has not been renounced

I write to you about the Seine, the Eiffel Tower

Shining in passing reflections

I write to you about the memory

Of one kiss in thousands

From the four corners of the earth

I will travel the world

of a very ordinary day

I write to you of this dream of having loved you so

I write to you dazzled by all this humanity

From the four corners of the earth

I will travel the world

of a very ordinary day

I write to you of this dream of having loved you so

I write to you dazzled by all this humanity

I write to you about trenches of abandoned wars

From the four corners of the earth

Having loved you so

I write to you dazzled by all this humanity

From the four corners of the earth

I write to you of this dream of having loved you so

From the four corners of the earth, of the earth, of the earth

Of this dream, of this dream

So loved

By so much humanity

I write to you dazzled by all this humanity

From the four corners of the earth

So loved

So loved
