Ton nom [English translation]

Your name

It's a marvelous word

A call which streams

And a whisper in murmur

Ended to this scream

Tearing for a while

The worrying silence

Of the night

Your name

Which is repeated by my voice

And which is resounded by the echo

Makes my soul worry

And the fire is burning in me

And until it vibrates in me

My heart doesn't know

Any rest

Your name

Which gives birth the joy there

Where camped the fear

It's a the star which is shining

In the sky of my heart

And guides me across

The steep paths

Of the happiness

Your name

At the hour when the shadow comes

To skin the day

It is transformed for me

In a simple word of love

And makes me prisoner

Of the night, of yours and

Of your name

Your name

Beats like a flag

Set up like a challenge

On the promised land

Good bye that I am

Because it floats at present

In the blue, for the time

Of my life

Your name

That I write on the walls,

On the tree, everywhere

And I cry it on the roofs,

In the wind like a mad

May you be in my arms

Or lost far away from me

Your name

Is an obsessing thought

Hovering in the air

It is flying all around me

It touches me and tightens me

And is playing to return

My blood and my thoughts

Inside out

Your name

On my lips and my body

Rhymes with my desires

It is tender, it is hot,

It is sait with pleasure

And I can't without getting weaker

To live or die tomorrow

In your name
