Je te suivrai [English translation]

There are several meters of water in the streets of my suffering

Several tons of mud in the stream of my veins

The river washes away the telephone wires

With my calls still resonating within

The rain has faded all the words I dream up

The birds cried out so that you wouldn’t hear me

In the places where you were there are pieces of ice

And trees bar the way to prevent my passing

Wherever you go I will follow you

I will follow you…

Even when you’ve closed your hundred doors

Even when you’ve wept for another’s children

Even when you’ve extinguished that which burnt the brightest

Even if you go further than my eyes can see

Wherever you go I will follow you

I will follow you…

Even in the deepest silence

I still hear you telling me

We are approaching the sky

Our closed books sway

I don’t want to fall alone

I don’t want to fall alone

If you want I’ll even like those who touch you

Those who still have your taste filling their mouth

Even those who you hate, even those you love

There is so much water in the streets of my suffering

Wherever you go I will follow you

I will follow you…

I still hear you telling me

We are approaching the sky

I don’t want to fall alone

I don’t want to fall alone

Snow has fell on every window sill

Of this hazy town. Ought to forget you...

How many more winters will pass under my door

Before I dare one day to say that I love someone else
