Maintenant [English translation]

Now that your eyes dare

to view me as an insolent dream.

Now that love has its place

next to me—I love you more than before.

Forsaking all comedies

without shame, I tell you very simply that

if love is to fetter our lives

now—let it be now.

And tomorrow our reunited souls

will love one another a little more each day—

amazed by all that binds us

one to another in this first love

Discovering at last the great mystery

of all those who one day, like us,

have lived as one on this earth

until forever in order to create love.

Now.

Now.
