Lui ou toi [English translation]

Where is "HE"

When he abandons me

All my life

Is far away

Where is "HIM"

I love his manly voice

Without him "HE" is nothing

"HIM" is older

I'm wearing his navy sweater

The water of his eyes

Is blue, the blue of the seas of China

"HE" is mysterious

In his stratosphere

Between the two, I wanted

Both

I have a sort of weight in my chest

A sort of spike in my throat

From not having made the choice

"HIM" or "YOU"

The windows are made of wood

And most murderous

Flowing inside of me

"HIM" or "YOU"

Where is "HE"?

When there is no one

The whole town turns off*

"YOU" and "HIM"

My two halves of man

Without them I am

Nothing

"HIM" is so strong

I laugh when he is bored

When he does wrong

Then, I still love him, he says:

That "HE", is in love

Like water is in love with the waves

Without the two of them, I have waves

In my soul

I have a sort of weight in my chest

Tears of Chinese ink

They point their fingers at me

"HIM" or "YOU"

To find inside of myself

Childish shapes

But the wooden horses

Are cold...
