L'équilibre [English translation]

The first night we fit together, then a leak undoes us

Back to back, like a long caress that slowly slips away

Thousands of words suffocate, lacking air and lacking space

Our feet persist as they touch each other, then we avoid each other as we let go

We dream of another taste in our mouths

Looking back doesn't work anymore, it's a pill that we choke on

Then there's this woman who turns it around, who does her dance that sows doubt

And who waters it with her smiles, my God, what a sweet sensation

Balance is fragile

When we navigate between the banks

I begin, you end

The storm renders us immobile

She presses where it hurts until I crumble

Until my values collapse and I act out

While she's lying to me, everything explodes, there'll be before and after

Like a shot of adrenaline scandalously injected

Then I come back every evening, a little later each time

Before every kiss, a shower, to say good morning and good night

I felt I lost my mind, it's arrhythmia in the myocardium

Am I losing my footing, is it really the end of our story?

Balance is fragile

When we navigate between the banks

I begin, you end

The storm renders us immobile

This night you didn't sleep, I found you in the dark

Your eyes swelling in contempt, in sadness and rage

Your voice broken by the tears, you want to know all the details

Where? When? How? What else has she more than you?

Like a distraught child, I try to take you in my arms

But the door slams, my life is blown to pieces

And the silence does me over when I no longer hear your voice

I try to measure the extent of the fallout, but it's too late

Balance is fragile

When we navigate between the banks

I begin, you end

The storm renders us immobile

You say to me that you're fine and that you've remade your life

That he's not at all like me, that he'll never make you suffer

But I am not well; me, I didn't remake my life

I find myself an idiot in a bad romantic comedy

Listening to our songs, watching our old movies

Still knowing by heart the first letters we wrote to each other

But as love is strong, it doesn't want us to flee

And I find you at my door with your two little suitcases

And the first night we fit together, then a leak undoes us

Back to back, like a long caress that slowly slips away

The light suffocates us, we need air and space

And I feel like each evening, it's you who comes back a little later
