Le cœur qui tremble [English translation]

I open the door leaving my hand on the handle

One never knows what could happen

You know out there men fall with the night

I will want to protect you

When the cats are grey*

I'll give you the names of lit streets in the city

Helping you avoid the dark corners, the dead ends, the idiots

Their arms outstreched too quickly

Like gnarled branches

I want so much that you avoid

All those empty promises

But you will do as you please

You will see no two stories are alike

Dont get mad at me

If I make more of it than I should

It's against my will, I'll always have a watchful soul

And even together

I'll always have a heart which trembles

You will take boats

I'll wait for your return

You will make journeys

Which they'll want to cut short

But wherever you go

I will keep it together

Your departure, in my heart like the final impact

My child, you'll take your life head-on

I'll pass mine watching over your fate

Today you fall asleep in the room next door

And I pray so that nothing comes to separate us

But you will do as you please

You will see no two stories are alike

Dont get mad at me

If I make more of it than I should

It's against my will, I'll always have a watchful soul

And even together

But you will do as you please

You'll have a little life that resembles you

Don't worry

If I can't sleep in peace

It's against my will, I'll always have a watchful soul

And even together

I'll always have a heart which trembles.
