Je croyais t'avoir faite
I thought I had created you
Petite fée
Little fairy
Mais c'est toi qui me fais
But it's you who makes me
Bien plus que de l'effet
So much more than just an effect
C'est toi qui m'as fait
It's you who made me
Devenir un peu divine
Become a little divine
En te donnant ta vie
By giving you your life
Je devine que tu vas me ravir toute la vie
I sense you're going to delight me for all my life
Et chaque jour que Dieu fait, je te fête
And every day that God creates, I celebrate you
Les arbres sous le vent
The trees in the wind
Qui soulève ce drap
Who lifts this sheet
Se balancent pour toi
Swaying for you
Que faisaient-ils avant?
What were they doing before?
Le marbre sous le vent
The marble beneath the wind
Qui se lève et t'enlève
Who rises and takes you away
Se gravera du nom que tu lis sur mes lèvres
Will engrave with the name you read on my lips
Ton nom que tout prononce bien avant qu'il t'annonce
Your name that all pronounce long before it announces you
Je croyais t'avoir faite
I thought I had made you
Petite fée
Little fairy
Mais c'est toi qui me fais
But it's you who makes me
Bien plus que de l'effet
Much more than just an effect
Long sera l'effet
The effect will be long-lasting
Toujours, il va durer
Always, it will endure
De mois à des années
From months to years
L'éphémère
The ephemeral
Toujours, il va durer
Always, it will endure
L'éphémère
The ephemeral
J'adore quand tu t'endors
I adore when you fall asleep
Je te rêve éveillée
I dream of you awake
Tu es plus qu'un trésor
You are more than a treasure
Un secret à bercer
A secret to cradle
Et le ciel peut s'attendre
And the sky can expect
À te tendre les bras
To open its arms to you
J'ai le cœur à pierre fendre des bonheurs d'ici-bas
I have a heart made of stone, breaking with earthly joys
Il n'y a rien à comprendre, l'amour est hors la loi
There's nothing to understand, love is beyond the law
Je croyais t'avoir faite
I thought I had created you
Petite fée
Little fairy
Mais c'est toi qui me fais
But it's you who makes me
Bien plus que l'effet
So much more than the effect
Long sera l'effet
Long will be the effect
Toujours, il va durer
Forever, it will last
De mois à des années
From months to years
L'éphémère
The ephemeral
Toujours, il va durer
Forever, it will last
L'éphémère
The ephemeral
