D'abord et puis [English translation]

First you come from the end of the world

You take back your place quite easily

Like a lively wave,your blond curls

dance happily in all mirrors.

First you swear that you are faithful

That today you love me more than before,

that our adventure is eternal...

So you go forward nice and slow

And it begins again just as before.

And then you fly away, then you go away

Without [saying] a word, without [writing] a note for me,

Leaving on my lips

A taste of excitement

A taste of joy

And then you fly away, than with no regret

In your mad dance, you disappear

Leaving the mirage

Of your image

On the pillow.

First anxiety and then anguish

Every single day quarrel with each other inside me.

Soon habit takes back its place

Up to the minute of your return.

First you swear that you are faithful

That today you love me more than before,

that our adventure is eternal...

So you go forward nice and slow

And it begins again just as before.

And then you fly away, then you go away

Without [saying] a word, without [writing] a note for me,

Leaving on my lips

A taste of excitement

A taste of joy

And then you fly away, than with no regret

In your mad dance, you disappear

Leaving the mirage

Of your image

On the pillow.
