Isabelle [English translation]

For a long time now my heart was retired

and I never thought seeing it awaking again

but at the sound of your voice I raised my head once more

and love has recaptured me before I had time to think about it

Isabelle... my love

Like a camel slipping through the eye of the needle

love has infiltrated, has crept under my skin

with such an insistence and with such a force

that I haven't found since neither peace nor rest

Isabelle... my love

The hours beside you flee like seconds

the days away from you resemble years

that give to my love an end of days taste

they trouble my body as well as my mind

Isabelle... my love

You're living in the light and me in dark corners

because you're dying to live and me I'm dying of love

I'd be content just by caressing your shadow

if you'd like offering me your destiny forever

Isabelle... my love
