Tu ne savais pas [English translation]

You didn't know that you'd be born one day

with a face, a profile

on a continent, on an island.

I felt like this at night, I felt like this at day.

You didn't know that you'd be born one day.

You didn't know that one day you would walk

alone or within an apartment,

through the streets or somewhere lone.

I felt like this at night, I felt like this at day.

You didn't know that one day you would walk.

You didn't know that one day you would love

so much that you'd forget to yawn

and even breathe out wonders.

I felt like this at night, I felt like this at day.

You didn't know that someday you would fall in love.

You didn't know that someday you would leave

without looking at tomorrow

and without a small hand gesture.

I felt like this at night, I felt like this at day.

You didn't know that someday you would leave.

You didn't know that you'd cry one day

with a head on her shoulder

for a crazy attraction.

I felt like this at night, I felt like this at day.

You didn't know that you'd cry one day.

You didn't know that one day you'd laugh

on a photograph, on an island,

on the valley, in the city.

I felt like this at night, I felt like this at day.

You didn't know that one day you'd laugh.

You didn't know that someday you would run.

It's true that time flies.

And that grammatical error is just crazy.

I felt like this at night, I felt like this at day.

You didn't know that someday you would run.

You didn't know that you would die someday.

The spirit, as well as the body, would be no more.

You wouldn't be neither right nor wrong.

I felt like this at night, I felt like this at day.

You didn't know that you would die someday.
