La neige est blanche [English translation]

By dint of facing each other

Of misunderstanding, of lack of love,

Really, our time is running out

Really, our time is running out

Then, as the harm is done,

As the gap widens, the bed is unmade

They look at each other, they remain silent

They look at each other, they remain silent

The man leans his body forwards

Like a dead trunk, he holds out his branches

But the cold has come, white is the snow

But the cold has come, white is the snow

The cold has come, white is the snow

He is leaving tomorrow, he sets off again

All along his way, each step will be painful

To grow away from you, whatever the cost

To grow away from you, whatever the cost

The man leans his body... (refrain)

You leave us for that country

Where as you say people are beautiful

What is it you desire other than you already have

What is it you desire other than you already have

The man leans his body... (refrain)
