Les accidents d'amour [English translation]

I want the lightning and the snow

Like a fire that consumes me

I want the sky and the water

To caress my body

I want everything since I have so little time

I want everything and I want it now

These days

There are accidents of love

These days

There are passions which end abruptly

I don’t have time to wait

I don’t have time to understand

I want happiness now

These days

There are setbacks along the way

These days

There are ghosts even in broad day light

I don’t have time to learn

I don’t have time to understand

I want happiness now

I want the green flash *

And the polar night of a hundred days **

And to feed on the world

And that it devour me in return

I want everything

Since I have so little time

I want everything and I want it now

These days

There are accidents of love

These days

There are passions which end abruptly

I don’t have time to wait

I don’t have time to understand

I want happiness now

These days

There are setbacks along the way

These days

There are ghosts even in broad day light

I don’t have time to learn

I don’t have time to understand

I want happiness now

I want everything since I have so little time

I want everything and I want it now

I want everything
