Je t'écris [English translation]

I write to you from the sidewalks

Of our cities dressed for Christmas

About some winter nights

With bitter-sweet tastes

I write to you about these evenings with their night lights

About the sparkling eyes of this little girl

At the feet of a tall (Christmas) tree

On 5th Avenue

I write to you about a departure

About a forgotten suitcase

I write to you from a white lake

Where a couple skates

I write to you from a desert

Where the wreckage of a ship recalls the sea

I write to you from a land

Where houses crumble

I write to you from Venice

Where lovers awake

To the sound of the old bell-towers

Maybe there will be snow again this year

I write to you from the sea, off Gibraltar,

From a view of Tangiers

I write to you from Africa

Where people die by the thousands

From the four corners of the earth

I write to you from the trenches of abandoned wars

I write to you about a kiss, from this bench in Paris

Where two lovers interweave in their eternity

And that nothing or anyone one could ever disturb

I write to you from a cafe, from the wing of a plane

Where our memories entwine in your eternity

And that no one and nothing could ever take from me

I write to you from the skies of the corner of the world

Where the bodies of starving children, so light,

Get up without making a sound

I write to you from a street where we dance and we sing

I write to you from the pen and desk of a lonely old man in a forgotten room

I write to you on behalf of these impotent gods

in whose names we kill

I write to you from the hand of these men

About peace that they have not renounced

I write to you from the Seine, the Eiffel Tower

Shining in passing river reflections

I write to you about the memory

Of one kiss among thousands

From the four corners of the earth

I will travel the world

on this very ordinary day

I write to you of this dream of having loved you so much

I write to you dazzled by all this humanity

From the four corners of the earth

I will travel the world

on a very ordinary day

I write to you of this dream of having loved you so much

I write to you dazzled by all this humanity

I write to you from the trenches of abandoned wars

From the four corners of the earth

Of Having loved you so much

I write to you dazzled by all this humanity

From the four corners of the earth

I write to you from this dream of having loved you so much

From the four corners of the earth, of the earth, of the earth

Of this dream, of this dream

Of loving so much

By so much humanity

I write to you dazzled by all this humanity

From the four corners of the earth

loved…

loved so much…
