Les espaces et les sentiments [English translation]

I met your gaze like a cowboy's in the summer

I was the amazon of the river in April

Believe it or not, I'll manage to stay.

Love is like a cheap stolen kiss.

You carried the forgotten lands with you.

Beauty from the heart, devilish eyes.

I liked the way you looked at me.

Your adventures were what you are.

I never waited till the evening

to get drunk on your story.

Tell me about the oceans,

the expanses and the emotions

The expanses and the emotions

Off your boots flew warm sand;

millenia old sea journeys, fairytales.

Teach me the taste of your silence

To love is to get in touch with one's childhood

I never waited till the evening

to get drunk on your story.

Tell me about the oceans,

the expanses and the emotions

The expanses and the emotions

I never waited till the evening

I never waited till the evening

Death will erode what we are.

Maps will stay stuck to the ground

My love is memories that are stolen from us,

losing our minds like a highly symbolic thing1

I never waited till the evening

to get drunk on your story.

Tell me about the oceans,

the expanses and the emotions

The expanses and the emotions

I never waited till the evening

to get drunk on your story.

Tell me about the oceans,

the expanses and the emotions

The expanses and the emotions
