Partis pour rester [English translation]

There's someone else in your looking-glass

Between the potions and creams

All the little jars that pile up

You see, time'as gone by anyway

We thought to stay still, despite the sentence given to us

We spend ourselves, we struggle, and even under the feet of a queen,

The big hand of the clock moves.

We will strive for eternity

It's so good here

We'll do everything as if

We were here to stay

Between the knockouts of the route,

The U-turns, the dead ends,

The long nights, the short days,

And everything which scratches the surface

Everyone falls in their turn

To the ravaging claws

The only remedy is love

Besides, that's what we're running after

From one end of space to the other

We will strive for eternity

It's so good here

We'll do everything as if

We were here to stay

We're far from tired

In a corner of my thoughts,

A lifetime away, tying,

Starting again a thousand times

And it's for that we'll stay, stay, stay

I would have liked to bring you

On a beautiful lace cushion,

The niche where the keys

Of the eternal mechanics are hiding

But the clock is out of reach

And it isn't the most important thing here

The hands can keep turning

And it can take everything away

I find you more beautiful every day

We will strive for eternity

It's so good here

We'll do everything as if

We were here to stay

We're far from tired

In a corner of my thoughts,

A lifetime away, tying,

Starting again a thousand times

We'll stay, stay, stay

We're in no hurry

For everything that has hurt us

Everything that has had to embrace us

The same thing, all over again

We will strive for eternity

It's so good here

We'll do everything as if

We were here to stay
