Kiss [English translation]

A kiss on a table, and two or three grains of sand

A slice of bread with honey, no clouds in the sky

Softly breathing C-note melodies onto your back

Hanging onto your every word, taking little turns on a merry-go-round

A caress of winter right on your sunny skin

And two or three gusts of wind from the present past1

Loving when you hum G-note melodies

Dangling from your voice, taking little detours through you

Ouhhh ouh, ouhhhh ouh ouh ouh ouhhhh ouh ouhhhhh ouhh (x4)

A word about wounds, about ink that erases

Two or three bad memories that we wanted to take care of2

Tearful melodies ill-fated in your arms

Little returns to happiness dangling from your heart

A sailboat at sea, two or three currents against the air

A bowl of chocolate as simple as that

Summer projects, D-note melodies

Hanging onto the journey, small page turnings

Ouhhh ouh, ouhhhh ouh ouh ouh ouhhhh ouh ouhhhhh ouhh (x4)

A plot of land on an island, the space...to rebuild

Two or three barns in a corner, and us alone in this garden

Thanks to the confectioner, B-note melodies

A nice twist of fate dangling from your hands...

Ouhhh ouh, ouhhhh ouh ouh ouh ouhhhh ouh ouhhhhh ouhh (x4)

1. not really sure what 'passé présent' is supposed to mean2. 'suivre' can have several different meanings but this was the one that made the most sense to me here
