Âme ou soeur
Soul or sister
Jumeau ou frère de rien
Twin or brother of nothing
Mais qui es tu?
But who are you?
Tu es mon plus grand mystère
You are my greatest mystery
Mon seul lien contigu
My only continuous bond
Tu m'enrubannes et m'embryonnes
You wrap and envelop me
Et tu me gardes à vue
And you keep me under watch
Tu es le seul animal
You are the only creature
De mon arche perdue
From my lost ark
Tu ne parles qu'une langue
You speak only one language
Aucun mot deçu
No word in response
Celle qui fait de toi mon autre
The one who makes you my other
L'être reconnu
The being acknowledged
Il n'y a rien à comprendre
There's nothing to understand
Et que passe l'intrus
And let the intruder pass
Qui n'en pourra rien attendre
Who can expect nothing from it
Car je suis seule a les entendre les silences
For I alone hear the silences
Et quand j'en tremble
And when I tremble
Toi tu es mon autre
You are my other
La force de ma foi
The strength of my faith
Ma faiblesse et ma loi
My weakness and my law
Mon insolence et mon droit
My insolence and my right
Moi je suis ton autre
I am your other half
Si nous n'étions pas d'ici
If we weren't from here
Nous serions l'infini
We would be infinity
Et si l'un de nous deux tombe
And if one of us should fall
L'arbre de nos vies
The tree of our lives
Nous gardera loin de l'ombre
Will keep us far from the shadows
Entre ciel et fruit
Between heaven and fruit
Mais jamais trop loin de l'autre
But never too far from each other
Nous serions maudits
We would be cursed
Tu seras ma dernière seconde
You will be my last second
Car je suis seule a les entendre les silences
For I am the only one to hear the silences
Et quand j'en tremble
And when I tremble
Toi tu es mon autre
You are my other half
La force de ma foi
The strength of my faith
Ma faiblesse et ma loi
My weakness and my law
Mon insolence et mon droit
My insolence and my right
Moi je suis ton autre
I am your other half
Si nous n'étions pas d'ici
If we weren't from here
Nous serions l'infini
We would be the infinite
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Et si l'un de nous deux tombe
And if one of us falls
