Place espoir [English translation]

she saw so many poems and so many promises

she saw pale mornings and drunken evenings

she saw so many dead leaves and so many blossoming roses

she knew how to be strong and console hearts

she saw so many springs and days coming up

she huddled in the wind, languid until it ended

the fads, the dreams, the fleeting desires

the dreams of tomorrow and the future in common

she saw so many smiles and so many people who love each other

she knew how to grow everything that we sow there

she saw so much hope, struggles and fights

embodied in faces fallen into anonymity

she saw so many skies and so many suns

children who marvel and lovers who awaken

she saw mirages, short sparks

she saw omens and languages ​​that mingle

she saw so much peace, thoughts, anger

she saw so many wounds and bitter prayers

she saw so many hands join and shake

to never go out, never forget

she saw so much fear and so many questions

she saw so much noise, so many resolutions

she saw so much shade, light and mist

fireworks and rain, shop windows and glass

battery

she saw so many of you

she saw so much of me

enigmatic lives
