Mademoiselle l'aventure [English translation]

Miss adventure

Without a sound you placed

Wrapped in her covers

A little sleeping angel

We were coming from nowhere

We hugged her close to us

What seems like chance

Is often an appointment

Miss mystery

Vanished for ever

You will always be the mother

We will always be love

It’s the book that we share

And here we are reunited

On the morning of each page

We thank you

You are at the age where one finds pleasure

In everything, in nothing, in your body

No witness I presume

Except the moon perhaps

And this treasure this dove

That had slowed you down

You have placed it in the shadow

And the shadow has reclaimed you

This little white spirit

She will be born twice

The first time between your hips

The second between our arms

The strength that that gives her

It's a shard of diamond

We don’t want to tell anyone

Just you

You are at the age where one finds pleasure

In everything, in nothing, in your body

No witness I presume

Just the moon and suchlike

And this treasure this dove

That had slowed you down

You have placed it in the shadow

And the shadow has reclaimed you

You are surely very beautiful

Like this little reflection of you

Who sleeps against my wing

She’s all that I know of you

Miss…
