Le sommeil attendra [English translation]

Let's keep our eyes wide open

On this point, over here, sleep will have to wait

Just like stone statues

Let's hold each other, for the sun is here

Let's make love, and then war

Between two corridas

Sleep will have to wait

Breathe in the passing breeze

Which comes, and then goes

For the sun is here

When everything goes wrong

And nobody agrees

Let's bet that sleep

Will wait for us some more

The river is rising

The archipelago, bared to death

I fear that sleep

Won't be able to wait anymore

To wait anymore

Let's keep our eyes wide open

And let's clean the spit-starred night

Far away, over there, it's war

Over here the sink is leaking, but the sun is here

Let's keep our eyes wide open

And let's swallow the rain

The sun is gone

Let's travel all around the world

For the world bored us

The sun is here

When everything goes wrong

And nobody agrees

Let's bet that sleep

Will wait for us some more

The river is rising

The archipelago, bared to death

I fear that sleep

Won't be able to wait anymore

To wait anymore
