Pour garder [English translation]

To protect your heart, which is my reason to live,

to keep your heart and never have to suffer

the torment of every moment

when love runs like water between our fingers—

me, I would do anything at all.

To keep my strength and my inner light—

to protect my rights, I would renounce the earth—

whatever the price of the joys

that you give me night and day—

nothing is too much for my love.

I have so much happiness that sometimes my heart

is torn apart by a strange fear.

Fragility and insecurity suffocate my life that wants to scream.

To have you with me until my dying days—

to hear your voice up until my last hour.

The years can pass away—the entire world can drain away—

I will do whatever it takes—

to keep and protect you.
