La mer n'a pas cessé de descendre [English translation]

The sea has kept falling

After the taste of salt, taste of ash

The sea has kept falling

After the bonfire, only ashes remain

And the wind has kept moaning

Rain falling, wood rotting

Yes the wind has kept moaning

Instead of keeping quiet, of falling asleep

Then evil has kept growing

Rain falling, sky laughing

Your heart was within my reach

Always the same using the same approach

And your face on the horizon

Always the same, wanting to get the better

Always the same, wanting to get the better

Yes the same, wanting to get the better

The sea has kept falling

Eyes crying, arms reaching out

The sea has kept falling

It takes water to extinguish ashes

And the wind has kept moaning

In the throat of the dying one

Yes, the wind has kept moaning

There's nothing left in the net you're pulling

Then evil has kept growing

Night falling, sky darkening

Now there is too much water, we cannot come back

The sea pushes me, pulls me

Yes, there is too much water between us

Water from tears of the lace around your neck

Water from tears of the lace around your neck

Water from tears of the lace around your neck

The sea has kept falling

After the taste of salt, taste of ash

It is so far it cannot be heard anymore

And today I start to understand

It is so far it cannot be reached anymore

And your eyes will bleed into my eyes

And your eyes will bleed into my eyes
