Reste la lumière Lyrics English Translation by Mylène Farmer
I’m tired of my prayers
I feel everything, everything too intensely
No use in going backward
Let my absences be silences
To avoid the noise of the world
If words go back inside
I still live every second
The hourglass never lies
I, I, I’m strange
I, I, I’m a mix
I, I, I’m strange
I do the angel’s leap
The light remains
Love is made of promises
I can see that water is rare
When it’s hopeless
The chimeras remain
I leave it to the universe
Happiness that comes home late
I’m in the dark
Curl up in an otherness
Be absent but without disappearing
Be there, so impudently
I talk to the gods when I’m on the ground
I, I, I’m strange
I, I, I’m a mix
I, I, I’m strange
I do the angel’s leap
The light remains
Love is made of promises
I can see that water is rare
When it’s hopeless
The chimeras remain
I leave it to the universe
Happiness that comes home late
I’m in the dark
You hurt me
You make me strong
And when I hurt
I stare at the dawn
And when I hurt
And when I sleep
Just one effort
The light remains
Love is made of promises
I can see that water is rare
When it’s hopeless
The chimeras remain
I leave it to the universe
Happiness that comes home late
I’m in the dark
(The light remains)
When it’s hopeless
