Un jardin sur la terre [English translation]

By the strength of running to not discover anything

To only be an adventurer in your memories

Or to take trips the way you do business

And to lose your youth the way you win a war

You can say to yourself

That nothing is important

That you have nothing more to say

That you've lost your time

A garden on earth, a little lost corner

Just a trunk of misery, a shelter, nothing more

A garden on earth to cultivate your heart

And to take the better that there is to the ephemeral

Sowing, being certain that you give your life

From the seed to the bud and from the flower to the fruit

A garden on earth, an Eden before time

A garden on earth, is this not happiness?

By the strength of wanting to live in two for life

At the point of coupling yourself with whomever

Or making multiple battlefields your bed

Collecting hearts for lack of medals

You can say to yourself

That nothing is important

That you have nothing more to say

That you've lost your time

A garden on earth, a little lost corner

Just a trunk of misery, a shelter, nothing more

A garden on earth to cultivate your heart

And to take the better that there is to the ephemeral

Sowing, being certain that you give your life

From the seed to the bud and from the flower to the fruit

A garden on earth, an Eden before time

Give me a garden on earth
