Paraffine [English translation]

Get out the bottles / the glasses / the cigarettes and the lighters / get out the pens and the notebooks

Light the candles / wake the spirits / warm up the machines

Turn up the bass / unleash the kicks / clap / the snares

The night will be long / big brothers

Big brothers / this evening / again / I call you in as reinforcements

The time has come anew / to dip / the torches in the paraffin / and to descend

To the depths of the mine

To do that which we learned to do / over the years / for all this time / we ride together

Hunting for the right words / to progress

All laid bare / before laying down / what we had on the heart / on the instruments

Our quests / our frustrations / our dreams / and our experiences

With nothing unspoken / no compromise / never straining our asses / nor spreading our cheeks

Shaky is not serious / shaky is very good

But take me some distance from my petty desires

I know that it must be put on the shelf / otherwise it's fucked

We can't masturbate / nor understate / nor dismantle

Always building and blackening

Even if sometimes / I see clearly / that it's complicated

We are not yet free of concerns / there is still work / it remains to be done / plenty to do

We must get to the end / to the end of the tunnel / with all our aggression / until we to bed like mass come morning / to reenlist upon waking

Well this evening we will engage / commence with the second site

We will rest / later / don't you worry

We will rest when we are older / big brother

Today / looking back I catch myself smiling

All these memories / in such little time / it strikes me like a second birth

Once I thought that my Life was behind me...

If only I knew / all that awaited me / all these moments / all that we have built / from nothing and single-handedly

And I am proud of this / it does me well

I think / that I am more content / less bitter / less angry

Than before / more at peace too I hope

I who was good for not very much / in my head anyway

I have recovered my dignity

Incidentally / I hope that I have benefited my own / as much as I could

But this is not finished / nothing is gained / we might be sheltered / for the moment / but must remain vigilant

Besides we have not yet said everything / because we have not yet seen everything / it is left in the sponge / it is left in our lockers

It is left on our path / we have not yet gotten to the end of the story / to the end of us / to the end of the others / to the end of the world / far from here

And we will not stop / as this will not happen

We have this privilege / this torch that we can dip in the paraffin / and we will continue to descend to the depths of the mine

To dig / dig / to the exit

We have spent so many years in waiting / in searching in the night / like slaves

In walking without knowing where to / in hurting for nothing / with flinching or turning back both out of the question

I know that I can count on you / big brother

How many Summers / sunrises / poems?

How many storms / crises / chrysanthemums?

We will be / through hundreds / through thousands

We will be / loves / fucks
