J'ai reçu l'amour en héritage [English translation]

Love was bequeathed to me

one morning in the land of the cicadas.

Madness and genius travel

beyond many eras

beyond many oceans.

I have read and turned so many pages

in my days of foolishness (1) and wisdom

For someone who won't be caged

it 's a beautiful gift

a legacy of love.

(chorus)

And although (2) my life is written as love

though my paths crossed torrents,

I remain a bohemian bird

a springtime child.

Love was bequeathed to me

one morning in the land of the cicadas.

Madness and genius travel

beyond many eras

beyond many oceans.

I have read and written so many pages

before laying my luggage.

I have seen so many rainstorms

before I found

a legacy of love.
