La forêt [English translation]

I had this childhood dream

I distanced myself from the clearing

To penetrate the woods in front

The further I advanced, the less I saw clearly

I led myself astray, alone in the night

I sensed myself sinking

The dream had turned into a nightmare

Since nobody, nobody was looking for me

In this forest, I'm here again

Is there any way out of this forest?

Ambushed by murky plants

Dark and green cathedral

Overwhelming and dirty

In this forest, there are some people

Who are progressing like me, with difficulty

In this knitted mass of wise branches,

Of brambles and creeping roots

So menacing, so menacing

In this nightmare of childhood,

The ivy restrained my cries

I trembled with fear, defenceless

Huddled, shivering in the night

Among these indifferent people

Of trees, leaves, and wind

I had lost my own way

Since I know whatever I did

In this forest, I'm here again

Is there any way out of this forest?

Ambushed by murky plants

Dark and green cathedral

Overwhelming and dirty

In this forest, there are some people

Who are progressing like me, with difficulty

In this knitted mass of wise branches,

Of brambles and creeping roots

So menacing

In this forest, I'm here again

Is there any way out of this forest?

Ambushed by murky plants

Dark and green cathedral

Overwhelming and dirty

In this forest, I'm here again

Is there any way out of this forest?
