Baltique [English translation]

Maybe were they afraid that I would piss

On the marble of the holy water font

Or worse, that I would take a crap

In front of the immaculate altar

Afraid that I would lift my leg

Somewhere between the chairs

Among the ungrateful crowd sitting there

Telling us about humanity

Maybe did they consider that

The love of a dog for its master

Wouldn't be orthodox enough?

Then they deprived me of canticles

Someday though, I do know

That God will know His dogs

Here I am, in front of this chapel

Under that rain I don't care about

Kept on the leash by a faithful friend

Who can't stand places of prayer

People are talking close to me

"At least you're lucky

You can't feel that suffering

Emotions are for human beings"

It's odd to think that they consider themselves Christian

While they can't even understand that

Love in the heart of a dog

Is the greatest love that will ever be

Someday though, I do know

That God will know His dogs

I could be living in the streets

Being kicked around

Eating much less than I should

Sleeping on the wet sidewalks

But only for a stroke

Or sometimes a piece of bread

In return, I give all my tenderness

For all eternity or even more

Tell me when someone

Will love a man as much as me

As I loved this human

That I'm mourning as much as you do

Someday though, I do know

That God will know His dogs

Someday though, I do know

That God will know His dogs
