Le chant des sirènes 2 [English translation]

I offer a smile to these past years

Growing up at the foot of the dunes

When I go into exile under the starry sky

To be on first name terms with the lagoon

No matter the proverb

The bad omens

The Quicksand

The heart at work

I turn the pages

To cheat time

When sorrows come

Bad times

Fears take me over again

And in the distance I hear

The song of the mermaids

The sorrows of yesteryear

But only the light

Can cheat time

And turn the pages

And comes the ages

Winter passed

Spring tilted

On our paths of fortune

The slight wave and the fragrant breeze

Have chased away my bitterness

No matter the proverb

The bad omens

The quicksand

The heart at work

I turn the pages

To cheat time

When sorrows come

Bad times

Fears take me over again

And in the distance I hear

The song of the mermaids

And the sorrows of yesteryear

But only the light

Can cheat time

When sorrows come

Bad times

Fears take me over again

And in the distance I hear

The song of the mermaids

The sorrows of yesteryear

But only the light

Can cheat time

When sorrows come

Bad times

Fears take me over again

And in the distance I hear

The song of the mermaids

And the sorrows of yesteryear

But only the light

Can cheat time

And turn the pages

And come the ages
