Mais ma vie est l'unique
But my life is the one and only
C'est sous l'encre qui
It's under the ink that
Entre en vie que je m'esquisse
Comes to life that I take shape
L'auteur, un cœur
The author, a heart
Entre ses doigts d'artiste
Between his artist's fingers
C'est lui qui effleure
It's him who grazes
Le mien qui bat pour lui dire
Mine that beats to tell him
Lui dire

Si l'amour

Reviens à l'amour

Des mots qu'on s'envoie
Words that we send to each other
Mémos et des mails

C'est aux bouts de ses doigts
It's at the tips of his fingers
Que s'envolent
That take flight
Mes mots qui s'emmêlent
My words that get tangled
Tout est écrit
Everything is written
Mais son clavier me tisse
But her keyboard weaves for me
Des choses closes
Closed things
Des émois qui sont à moi
Emotions that belong to me
Bouge, deux trois touches
Move, a touch or two
Et c'est le fruit qui s'exquise
And it's the fruit that reveals itself
Son souffle qui m'entrouvre
Her breath that partially opens me
Qui déboutonna ma vie
That unbuttoned my life

To tell him
Si l'amour
