Et un jour une femme [English translation]

To have spent white nights dreaming

That which fairy tales leave you to imagine

To have lost your childhood in the street

Disappointed illusions pass imperceptibly by

To have fallen lower than dirt

and to the entire earth

To want it then to say nothing

To have left even your dignity

Without asking anything more

than for someone to come finish you

[Chorus 1] :

And one day a woman

whose gaze skims over you

Carries you on her shoulders

Like she carries the world

And until the end of strength

Covers with her bark

Your deepest wounds

Then one day a woman

Puts her hand in yours

To talk to you about someone else

Because she carries the world

And until the end of herself

Proves to you that she loves you

Through the love that she floods

Day after day you regain confidence

In her patience

You get back up

Find a future in yourself maybe

And above all the desire to be

that which she expects of you

[Chorus 2] :

And one day a woman

whose gaze skims over you

Carries you on her shoulders

Like she carries the world

And until the end of strength

Covers with her bark

Your deepest wounds

Your deepest wounds

Then one day a woman

Puts her hand in yours

To talk to you about someone else

Because she carries the world

And until the end of herself

Proves to you that she loves you

Through the love that she floods

Through the love that she floods

And one day this woman

Whose gaze touches you

Carries to her mouth

The front of a little world

And up to the end of herself

Gives it everything she has

Every step every second

And the ends of the earth

And the ends of the earth

[Spoken]

And the ends of the earth

Because she carries the world
