Le reste du temps [English translation]

And what if we slept under the trees

The rest of the time

Two lovers lying on old clothes

Two beginners

Under the basking skies,

Only to do as much... (to bask with each other)

Better than all the marble palaces

The sultan's gold

Some branches keeping us from

The strong winds

I will do all that you long for

The man or the child

In our messy gardens

So many flowers stretched out, so many

Under the amber light

Longly our bodies entwined, longly

No reason to talk about it

Nothing worrisome

A mirror so you can adorn yourself*

I love you though

No one is looking at us anymore

Nor hearing us...

In our messy gardens

So many flowers stretched out, so many

Under the amber light

Longly our bodies entwined, longly

While people are chatting

About nothing important

We could sleep under the trees

The rest of the time
