Quelques cris [English translation]

The first scream I let out

was the one of the new born

the day when my mother gave me birth

naked, bloody between the sheets

the intensity of the sun frightened me

the second time I screamed

It was a scream of delight

when a woman attracted me

naked, trembling, in her arms

the intensity of desire frightened me, yes frightened me

i had a look of hunger

the vague look of the misloved

the look of the boy who doesn't know

that two bodies sometimes collapse each other

that two bodies sometimes collapse each other

The third scream I let out

was the one of the fulfilled man

when the public called me again

on the stage for the tenth time

the intensity of success frightened me, oh frightened me

The reason why I don't scream anymore today

is because something took over

it speaks little, it speaks low,

the loneliness weakens my voice

the reflect of my life frightens me, frighten me

I had a look of hunger

the vague look of the misloved

the look of the boy who doesn't know

that two bodies sometimes collapse each other

that two bodies sometimes collapse each other

The last time, last time

I had a look of hunger

the vague look of the misloved

the look of the boy who doesn't know

that two bodies sometimes collapse each other

that two bodies sometimes collapse each other
