Soleil [English translation]

And it was he the sun,

who made us to wake up

every morning

and the sea was pretty

and we walked toward it,

hand in hand.

And than we went on the beach,

you searched sea shells

like a child,

held them at your ear,

to hear, I remember me,

the sea in it.

Sun, I love you

and forever

you are loyal

but love

isn't often like you,

why?

You have always been so hungry

the ripe fruits and the wine

were for you.

You snarled to me sometimes,

when I did not eat,

it was nothing.

And the water went over the sand,

our dreams were similary,

I remember me:

We talked about the house,

the children, that we would have,

and we had been well.

And it was always it the sun,

that will make me to wake up

every morning.

Wintersun or summersun,

it sees the loves going by

and the pains.

How many beaches.

how many other faces will it take

to, like you,

forget the house

and the blond children,

that we don't have?
