Ami [English translation]

Friend seeking another lost friend

In the immensity of the heavens

Faces and unknown bodies

Dreamer seeking to find his sky

From the depths of the night call

His maternal star

Because twenty years ago a storm

Made me fall from my cloud

And left me alone in the abandoned world

On the morning of a far off journey

I fell from my cloud

I’ve never felt the earth beneath my feet

Come back, star that lights the silver plains

Come back and fetch your child

Before he is gigantic

Before he burns himself with fire

Before he hurts himself in a game

Before he is too old

Because twenty years ago a storm

Made me fall from my cloud

And left me alone in this abandoned world

On the morning of a far off journey

I fell from my cloud

I’ve never felt the earth beneath my feet

Because twenty years ago a storm

Made me fall from my cloud

And left me alone in the abandoned world

On the morning of a far off journey

I fell from my cloud
