All streams lie below the sea
Tous les ruisseaux se trouvent sous la mer
And that's what's been told, that's why we're free
Et c'est ce qu'on nous a dit, c'est pourquoi nous sommes libres
And careless we are when we are young
Et insouciés nous sommes quand nous sommes jeunes
And all we could do was live through songs
Et tout ce qu'on pouvait faire était de vivre à travers des chansons
And you came running to my life
Et tu es venue en courant dans ma vie
Your laugh laced with gold and still grey eyes
Ton rire mêlé d'or et ces yeux encore gris
Your voice left echoes in my mind
Ta voix a laissé des échos dans mon esprit
Were you someday to be mine
Devais-tu un jour être à moi
And I'll find my way back home
Et je retrouverai mon chemin vers la maison
Just to read upon the light that's in your eyes
Juste pour lire la lumière qui brille dans tes yeux
And if you ever feel alone
And if you ever feel alone
Just remember that I'll be coming back
Just remember that I'll be coming back
And in these waters where we lay
And in these waters where we lay
The currents are strong, we're washed away
The currents are strong, we're washed away
We're looking, we look for different hearts
We're looking, we look for different hearts
And once they are found we keep them crossed
And once they are found we keep them crossed
And I'll find my way back home
And I'll find my way back home
Just to read upon the light that's in your eyes
Just to read upon the light that's in your eyes
And if you ever feel alone
And if you ever feel alone
Just remember that I'll be coming back
Just remember that I'll be coming back
And I'll find my way back home
Et je retrouverai mon chemin vers la maison
Just to read upon the light that's in your eyes
Juste pour lire la lumière qui brille dans tes yeux
And if you ever feel alone
Et si jamais tu te sens seule
Just remember that I'll be coming back
Souviens-toi juste que je reviendrai
