Dors, mon amour [English translation]

Sleep, my love

The sun is still far from the day

We have all the time to love

And the night understands us

Sleep, my love

Protected by my arms that surround

Your sleep with a curtain of happiness

Sleep onto my heart

I’m a king

That holds his whole kingdom in his fingers

And that shivers of seeing fall down

This enchanted kingdom

Sleep, my love

My princess, locked up in her tower

With all the refrains of the night

My sleepy princess

I’m following your soul step by step on its way of joy

And I amuse myself by leaning over your starry sleep

Sleep, my love

The sun is still far from the day

We have all the time to love

And the night understands us

Sleep, my love

Protected by my arms that surround

Your sleep with a curtain of happiness

Sleep onto my heart

I hear the voice

Of your life that beats so close to me

And I feel like a very gentle blow

That caresses my cheek

Sleep, my love

My princess, locked up in her tower

I see the morning smile

Here’s the sun of tomorrow

The great sun of the eternal love
