L'âge d'or [English translation]

We will have bread

Golden like the girls

Under the golden suns

We will have wine

The one that sparkles

Even when asleep

We will have blood

Inside our white veins

And most often

Monday will be Sunday

But then our age

Will be the golden age

We will have beds

Curvaceously carved 1

In the fine sand

We will have fruit

The same ones we scrump

In the neighbouring field

We will have for sure

Inside our dull houses

All the pecks of blue

That promenade above

But then our age

Will be the golden age

We will have the sea

Two steps from the star

On windy days

We will have winter

With a cicada

In its white hair

We will have love

Within all our problems

And all conversations

Will finish with “I love you”

Come, so come

Come the golden age
