Partie de cartes [English translation]

Like an unfinished Game of cards

that looked like you

a never full game we were handing out

with no real success

I was affraid of dying,

I begged

as one had to suffer

I whispered

scraps of prayers, monotonous chants,

we were hearing,

I am now worthless to you, I deserted,

I left you

I didn't want to

go on

I could only see

burnt ground

I was affraid of dying

I drowned

I didn't want to follow you anymore

I was bored

but without mercy,

you were laughing

at all my Dreams

why do we always have to kneel

to answer for our past

I was affraid of dying

I was imagining

Strange castles

that I was destroying

Like a Game of cards

unfinished

a never full game

that looked like you

I was affraid of dying

Yes, I was affraid of dying
