Circus [English translation]

Not thinking about anything anymore

Not thinking anymore at all

Waiting until the morning

Suddenly pokes its nose out

Spending the day doing nothing

Offering yourself the right to daydream

Contemplating the hours unraveling

Close your eyes and sigh

I savor these fragile moments, these few days so close to you, both lost, on this island where time passes and then is gone...(x2)

Not thinking about her anymore

About this shit

Being able to wait until she

Can forget you too

Spending the night dreaming about it

Offering yourself the right to believe in it again

Guessing at the raging sea

And putting death in parentheses

I devour these fragile moments, these few days so close to you, both lost, on this island where your laugh flies and then is gone...(x2)

Not thinking about anything anymore

But not thinking about anything but yourself

Jettisoning fear to a far-away place

Then bursting with joy

Spending the time laughing

Offering yourself the time to hope

And to see you when you capsize

Perhaps without complaining

I think about these fragile moments, these few days so close to you, and I return alone, to this island because life passes and then is gone...

I think about these fragile moments, these few days so close to you, and I return alone, to this island because life goes on... without you
