Humaine [English translation]

May I never be freed

of my childhood ties

that I never I open the book

where I would understand my pain ...

That I can never seem to be ...

What I am not

That I be as I was made ...

and not as I'm seen.

That I do not forge weapons ...

to harden my heart,

That I do not invent tears ....

Under the eye of the spotlights

That I never became ice before a life that is bleeding ....

That I always remain at my place among the people I love.

chorus:

That's all I ask

to live where love can wait for me ....

leaving my heart to cry

with the blood of my pain

while myself remaining myself

Human, Human.

May the day never come

when time will eat me

when I write down my loves

on the pages of diary

like all world's diamonds ...

sleeping in their caskets

That my deepest joys ....

become for me three times nothing

That I may never be unable to count

further than up to two

Without trying to climb

on the hill of the gods

That on the roads of doubt

I move my neck dreams

While meeting on my way

People like you.
