Ces deux-là [English translation]

The evening of 31st they have walked for a long time

And found themselves on the bridge in the middle of the fireworks

Her stomach looked like at that moment like Mia Farrow's in "Rosemary's Baby"

The impact of the rockets made them to go back

And then in the room there remained nothing but the firecrackers' distant noise

And the girls' muffled screaming that some fantastic boys threw into water

They were there.

He show her this life of two without saying a word,

This life that they had before the double otitis and the shared custody,

He wind a Christmas garland around his head to make her laugh,

She took a photo.

At this moment she thought:

"This right here is the end of this part of the story, the end of this life."

These two, for the last time...
