Pourtant [English translation]

You asked yesterday

My opinion about happiness

Doesn't look like it and then you worry

So peace would make you scared

I kindle this love

Twigs flutter

You're completely taken in

It's his secrete life

Though ... though ... though

The words are, the words do, the words say

The words sink, the words roll on a yarn

I let these microbes, these missiles

To talkative persons, to poets if possible

Oh ... how I love you when you explain yourself

It's funny but ...

I put away modes and recipes

Burn the box down, my heart

From this little sacrifice I have a dizziness, a heat left

I kindle this love

Twigs flutter

You're completely taken in

It's his secrete life

Though ... though ... though

You know, you asked me yesterday

My view about happiness

Well, everyday it's more clear-cut

He won't scare us anymore

I kindle this love

Twigs flutter

You're completely taken in

It's his secrete life

Though ... though ... though
