C'était un train de nuit [English translation]

I remember a hand

Who had caught me

I remember a hand

Tight like a grappling hook

I remember

I remember

It was a night train

In a troubled country

All our bodies piled

My soul homeless

I remember a glance

Who had turned me

I remember a glance

Shining in the dark

I remember

I remember

And this lost glance

Who didn't have more than me

Who I am? Who are you

You that I do not see?

I remember a voice

In a hoarse voice

I remember a voice

Who spoke to me softly

I remember

I remember

It was a night train

With locked doors

A moment together

Immediately separated

I remember a time

That I did not expect

I remember a time

Where the night stopped

I remember

I remember

And I did not know

When the day dawned

Who was the unknown

Who had possessed me

Because everything is finished

That this world is broken

I love anyone

In the middle of my nights

It was a night train

In a troubled country

I remember the night

I remember forgetfulness

I remember

I remember

I remember

I remember

I remember ...
