Le danseur [English translation]

Somewhere, God knows where

Perhaps at the corner of the next road

The dancer stands to attention

Awaiting you there

It’s outside, it’s everywhere

It’s the law since the dawn of time

Nobody has an appointment

But everyone turns up

Just like that, without knowing how, automatically

There on the pavement, a star

Where does it come from? This mystery

Which leads you to your starting point?

This thread shining on the ground

That only you can see

It’s in the air, God knows where

At the end of your fate line

The dancer stands to attention

Waiting for you to come forward

One day as ordinary as any other

There on the pavement, a star

Along its coloured thread

The delicate glow of the signal

Under the dancer’s clothing

The other half of your original

Heart

It’s no longer the story of a stranger

It’s your favourite film

And you have the starring role

It’s no longer the story of someone else

It’s chance knocking at the door

It’s for the front page

Somewhere, one fine day

At the Crossroads of Good Luck

Two shadows dancing to

No longer form more than one

Two shadows dancing to

Become one

One day as ordinary as any other

There on the pavement, a star

Along its coloured thread

The delicate glow of the signal

Under the dancer’s clothing

The other half of your original

Heart

It’s the law since the dawn of time

One day you close your arms

And there’s someone inside
