La Clé [English translation]

I knew summits that I dreamed of reaching

Followed by abysses more than impossible to remount

I experienced challenges of which I had nothing to fear

And others that I thought I would never tried

I've seen faces that have passed between a thousand

Arrested on so many others who turned away

I've known moments that remain indelible

And others that are erased and left to the past

I've known all these

We keep everything to ourselves

We take everything from you

But I still haven't found

The key we have inside us

Like this solitary swimmer

Who never touches the earth

This painter that went crazy

Who wants to catch the light

Like a mountaineer's dream

One day to reach the sky

I knew deserts of which I didn't see the end

Oases that seemed to be the end of the voyages

I knew smiles that would take you anywhere

And so many others as false as mirages

I've known all these

We keep everything to ourselves

We take everything from you

But I still haven't found

The key we have inside us
