Ma solitude [English translation]

Because of having slept so often

with my loneliness

I almost made it my friend,

a sweet custom.

She doesn't leave me

Faithful like a shadow

She followed me here and there

at the four corners of the world.

No I'm never alone

with my loneliness.

When she's in the middle of my bed

She takes all the place

And we spend long nights

Both together, face to face.

I really don't know how far

this accomplice will go.

Will i have to take a fancy on it

Or will I have to react?

No I'm never alone

with my loneliness.

With her, I have learned

as much as I cried with tears.

If sometimes I deny her

She never desarms herself.

And If I would prefer love

from another courtisane

She will be on my last day,

My last companion.

No, I'm never alone

with my loneliness.

No, I'm never alone

with my loneliness.
