Parler tout bas [English translation]

On rainy days

My toys are alive

Adults have claws

Like pieces of cement

How to tell them

When you're only sixteen

The bed we unmake

No longer tastes of licorice

What good

Are chiffon lives

Words of love

They're too short

Me, I dream big

Like elephants

I dream immensely

A round belly

Deep eyes

My bear says "why bother?"

His friendship

Hard as it is to say

Lasts a lifetime

Him on the other hand...

Chorus:

Speaking oh so quietly

Finding the right words

Speaking oh so quietly, speaking of myself

To find peace

His arms, softness

He has a heart inside

The object of my affection

It's for him

My poem

To the inanimate world

On rainy days

My toys are alive

Adults have laughs

That slap you as they pass

What use is a love that melts?

Me, I have a companion

I'd like to say

And not as a joke

That even if it's stupid

I love him...
