Au bout de mes rêves [English translation]

And even if time hurries

Even if we are a bit short

If the years that they left me

Are only minutes and days

And even if they stop me

Or if walls must be broken

By blowing in trumpets1

Or by dint of whispers

I'll go to the end of my dreams

To the very end of my dreams

I'll go to the end of my dreams

Where reason ends

To the very end of my dreams

I'll go to the end of my dreams

To the very end of my dreams

Where reason ends

To the very end of my dreams

And even if I have to leave

Change of land or tracks

If I have to seek in exile

The imprint of my space

And even if the storms

The evil gods, the currents

Will make us bow our heads

Bend the knee under the wind2

I'll go to the end of my dreams

To the very end of my dreams

I'll go to the end of my dreams

Where reason ends

To the very end of my dreams

I'll go to the end of my dreams

And even if you abandon me

In the small of a wrong turn

In those moments where you test

The force of our loves

I will keep the wound

Deep inside me, very deep

But atop I swear to you

I will erase your name

I'll go to the end of my dreams

To the very end of my dreams

I'll go to the end of my dreams

Where reason ends

To the very end of my dreams

I'll go to the end of my dreams

To the very end of my dreams

Where reason ends

To the very end of my dreams

1. Reference to the destruction of the walls of Jericho, according to the Bible, the city walls fell after Joshua's Israelite army marched around the city blowing their trumpets.2. That whole verse is a reference to the Odyssey.
