La mer est calme [English translation]

of the two of us lovers who will yawn first

who will toss the last into flood

who will sulk, who will be the drunk

who will erase the chalk from board

and who will still believe that all of that was worth it

who will look for invisible lice

of us two lovers who will pick up his arrows again

to launch them towards another target

the sea is calm

I watch it

I wait for the whirls

large blades

and spears

who's carrying everything?

who's carrying everything?

of us two lovers

which one will first experience the laziness of caresses

then throw himself into endless arguments

drowning in some excuses

who will fall from above

twist his guts

who will be the first of the victims

which of us two lovers secretly prepares

the big crime

the sea is calm

I watch it

I wait for the whirls

large blades

and spears

who's carrying everything?

who's carrying everything?

who will crack first

who will be the naive

and who a summer evening will make everything explode

who will crack the last

who will be the amnesiac

who over the years can forget everything

who can forgive

and then pass the sponge after some years

and the packed shoulders

who will say "it's enough"

who will have the courage to admit that all this was a big mirage

the sea is calm

I watch it

I wait for the whirls

large blades

and spears

who's carrying everything?

who's carrying everything?

who's carrying everything?
