Quelque chose [English translation]

Something tender has risen

Something that haunts us, that pleases us

It's something that digs us, that melts us

And that fits us like a glove

Something tells us it's lost

That we will worship without end

And that we will bite into one morning

Something stubbornly

(Hum hum hum)

"But what is this something?"

This is the question that everyone is asking

What's that sweet something there?

What is this gem from here below?

Something pierces us like a blade

Something crosses us, claims us

If we perceive something on the way

We are reduced to nothing

And something capsizes us, holds us back

Yes something tears us apart, hugs us

And it hugs us heart and body

Again and then yes again

Yes again

"But what is this something?"

This is the question that everyone is asking

What's that sweet something there?

What is this jewel from below

Something takes us away, wakes us up

Something like a kind of wonder

If you came across something so beautiful

You have to throw everything into the water

Yes to water

"But what is this something?"

This is the question that everyone is asking

What's that sweet something there?

What is this jewel from below

"But what is this something?"

This is the question that everyone is asking

What's that sweet something there?

What is this jewel from below
