Les choses qu' on ne dit pas [English translation]

I made up words that burst out of nowhere

And thrust away walls of stone

Out of my memory

To make the world bigger and hide my treasures

Maybe I'll search much longer still

Sometimes I found happiness and joy

One day I woke up next to you

I whispered for entire nights

Words of love and words of light

But what made me the happiest man on earth...

It's the things that we don't say

The real secrets that we keep deep down inside ourselves

It's the things that we don't say

Because words, words don't exist

I explored all of your love out in force

And I locked our secrets safe behind a door

It's a rare garden filled with all of that which

means nothing to others, but means life itself to us

It's the most intense silence I know of

The one wherein the wounds of our tenderness are healed.

What is reassuring to me when I'm asleep,

What smiles to me when you awake,

And also what warms my heart like a sun...

It's those things that we don't say

The real secrets of my love for you

It's the things that we don't say

Because words, words don't exist

And it is sometimes in a look, in a smile

that words are hidden,

which we never knew how to say.

All the things that we don't say

The words of which... words do not exist.

All the things that we don't say,

But that we keep forever deep down inside ourselves,

And that we take with us in the hereafter

There, in the place where words, words don't exist.
