Lourd [English translation]

My past is heavy

After travelling alone

On round trips,

Taking the emergency exit

As my first option

You closed it behind you,

I'm not turning back

Someday, we'll cross over

From one side of me to the other

I don't recognize myself anymore

A tour that never stops

From one side of me to the other

I don't recognize myself anymore

I can barely keep up with myself1

I'd like to fall into your arms and fall asleep,

But all my fears are my only focal point,

Far away from my desires

I'm paralyzed before you,

I'm not turning back

Someday, we'll cross over

From one side of me to the other

I don't recognize myself anymore

A tour that never stops

From one side of me to the other

I don't recognize myself anymore

I'm paralyzed before you,

I'm not turning back

1. Or, 'I have trouble understanding myself'.
