Elementare [English translation]

Elementary like a kiss in a fable.

Elementary like sleep on a Sunday.

Elementary like a free swing.

Elementary like a ball that rolls.

A man is sitting with a shadow by his side.

He is watching the entrance of this labyrinth.

He's got the future pursuing him.

The past is there ahead

but he, he stays there

with his head on the wheel

and one foot on the breaks.

At the junction between nothingness

and one less life.

But a light hand

sweetly grazes his face.

And suddenly, everything is

Elementary like a kiss in a fable.

Elementary like sleep on a Sunday.

Elementary like a free swing.

Elementary like a ball that rolls.

A man walks along a precipice,

he seems indifferent and doesn't look down

with that feeling

of being immortal,

of someone who's lost everything.

Then he sees that room

at the end of the hallway.

The one where everything darkens

when you enter.

Then he holds the doorknob.

He breathes, closes his eyes.

He opens the door and everything is there.

Elementary like a kiss in a fable.

Elementary like sleep on a Sunday.

Elementary like a free swing.

Elementary like a ball that rolls.
