Histoire naturelle [English translation]

In the great gallery of my evolution,

there are those who think I got out of a fish tank

but I'm a butterfly, a fatal imprudence.

A butterfly lost amidst lions.

A tagged pin.

I'm an enigma for their silence.

A natural story.

Mi story is beautiful.

My story is that

of a species on the verge

of apparition.

A natural story.

My story is beautiful.

My story is that

of a strange and rebellious animal.

My story is beautiful.

Who could believe that for the skirt-chasing Darwins

I'm a prey of their preference.

They are going to stuff me with no emotion,

to undress me with delight.

To order me, forget me

behind the cabinets of silence.

A natural story.

My story is beautiful.

My story is that

of a specimen on the verge

of extinction.

A natural story.

My story is that

of a strange and rebellious animal.

A rebellious foreigner.

in all innocence.
