Le dimanche [English translation]

On Monday, I was the only one in the world.

The Earth was round

Plunged in cold

And funereal shadows.

It was clear to me:

There had to be light.

On Monday, to get rid of my boredom

I created day and night,

night.

On Tuesday, I remember, the light was beautiful.

I did some decorating.

A few waves, but not too many.

I made the lows and the highs

and the flies in the ointment*

On Tuesday, I finished the heavens

And it's in heaven that I live,

That I live.

Afterwards, all I remember

Is that it was good.

I scattered the rains,

Put seeds in the fruit

so that they would be fecund

Since this Earth is round

On Wednesday, yeah, that was definitely the day

When I created love

I'll always remember that.

Yes, but on Sunday,

What did I do?

On Thursday, I already told you

it's no longer very clear.

Missing warmth,

I was addicted to light

So I had to switch on

The sun and the moon

It's a story about shining a little.

I pulled out all the stops

All the stops.

On Friday, I don't remember any more

after being held in custody.

What crime did I commit?

If it's not you, my friend.

I had to stop

After creating animals

To protect them from harm

Because on Friday, I was completely delirious

Completely delirious.

It was the end of the week.

The Earth, however, was full.

But what got into me that day?

Wanting you to be in my image

I made you poorly, dominant,

Flowing with tears and blood.

On Saturday, may the Earth forgive me,

if I created man.

If I created man.

Yes, but on Sunday,

What did I do?

Yes, but on Sunday,

What did I do?

I slept a little.

I put a snake in an apple.

So that I could forgive myself

for creating man.

Oh my god,

my game

Oh my god,

(What did I do)

(On Sunday)

(What did I do, then?)

I didn't have the right to rest.

I hadn't finished the job.

(What did I do, then?)

I just had to give you a brain,

without telling you what to do with it.

I couldn't tell you

that you were going to die.

Where does this unease come from?

The stress weighs down on me

from this error of Genesis

from this error of Genesis

Pronounce the name "God."

Pronounce the name "God."
