De l'autre côté de ton âme [English translation]

On the other side of your body

There's my life and the news

My tenderness when you sleep

My caresses when you're hurt

On the other side of your soul

There's the opposite of boredom

Perfumes of macadam

Venus by Nina Ricci

On the other side of your body

There are tango players

From a street in São Paulo

With machine guns on the back

On the other side of your body

There are my fingers wandering

On the other side of your soul

With my sick dreams

On the other side of your body

There are Lorcas, Hikmets

Millions more of others

Not necessarily all poets

On the other side of your soul

There are names in journals

Names of men and women

Who lived like heroes

On the other side of your body

There are streets of solitude

Where meteorites dream

Fleeing to the North and the South

On the other side of your soul

My eyes take refuge

My nights of vague spirit

When I walk around Paris
