Je te promets [English translation]

I promise you the salt at the kiss of my mouth

I promise you the honey at my hand that touches you

I promise you the sky above your bed

Flowers and laces for your nights to be gentle

I promise you the key of the secrets of my soul

I promise you the life from my laughters to my tears

I promise you the fire instead of the weapons

Never farewell anymore, only goodbyes

I believe in it as in the earth

I believe in it as in the sun

I believe in it like a child

Like we can believe in the sky

I believe in it as in your skin

In your arms that tighten me

I promise you a story different than the others

I so need to still believe in it

I promise you days blue like your veins

I promise you nights red like your dreams

Incandescent hours and white minutes

Carefree seconds at the rhythm of your hips

I promise you my arms to carry your anxieties

I promise you my hands for you to kiss them

I promise you my eyes if you can't see anymore

I promise you to be happy if you have no more hope

I believe in it as in the earth

I believe in it as in the sun

I believe in it like a child

Like we can believe in the sky

I believe in it as in your skin

In your arms that tighten me

I promise you a story different than the others

If you help me to still believe in it

And even if it's not true

If one did it too much to you

If the words are used

Like written with chalk

We made great fires rubbing stones

Maybe with time, at the strength to believe in it

We can just try to see

And even if it's not true,

Even if I'm lying

If the words are used

Light like wind

And even if our story ends during a morning

I promise you a moment of fever and gentleness

Not all your life but some hours

I promise you the salt at the kiss of my mouth

I promise you the honey at my hand that touches you

I promise you the sky above your bed

Flowers and laces for your nights to be gentle...
