  1. Quel émoi devant ce moi qui semble frôler l'autre

    What emotions before this self that seems to brush against the other

  2. Quel émoi devant la foi de l'un qui pousse l'autre

    What emotions before the faith of one who pushes the other

  3. C'est la solitude de l'espace

    It's the solitude of space

  4. Qui résonne en nous, on est si seul, parfois

    That resonates within us, we are so alone, sometimes

  5. Je veux croire alors qu'un ange passe

    I want to believe then that an angel passes by

  6. Qu'il nous dit tout bas, je suis ici pour toi

    That whispers to us softly, I am here for you

  7. Et toi c'est moi

    And you are me

  8. Mais qui est l'autre quel étrange messager

    But who is the other, what a strange messenger

  9. Mais qui est l'autre ton visage est familier

    But who is the other, your face is familiar

  10. Mais qui est l'autre en toi ma vie s'est réfugiée

    But who is the other, in you my life has taken refuge

  11. C'est un ami, c'est lui

    He's a friend, it's him

  12. Toi et moi du bout des doigts nous tisserons un autre

    You and I will weave another with the tips of our fingers

  13. Un autre moi, une autre voix sans que l'un chasse l'autre

    Another me, another voice without one pushing the other away

  14. J'ai dans ma mémoire mes faiblesses

    I have my weaknesses in my memory

  15. Mais au creux des main toutes mes forces aussi

    But in the palm of my hands, all my strengths too

  16. Mais alors pour vaincre la tristesse

    But then to conquer the sadness

  17. Surmonter ses doutes, il nous faut un ami

    To overcome our doubts, we need a friend

  18. L'ami c'est lui

    The friend is him

  19. Mais qui est l'autre quel étrange messager

    But who is the other, what a strange messenger

  20. Mais qui est l'autre ton visage est familier

    But who is the other, your face is familiar

  21. Mais qui est l'autre en toi ma vie s'est réfugiée

    But who is the other in you, my life has taken refuge

  22. C'est un ami, c'est lui

    It's a friend, it's him

  23. Mais qui est l'autre quel étrange messager

    But who is the other, what a strange messenger

  24. Mais qui est l'autre ton visage est familier

    But who is the other, your face is familiar

  25. Mais qui est l'autre en toi ma vie s'est réfugiée

    But who is the other in you, my life has taken refuge

  26. C'est un ami, c'est lui

    It's a friend, it's him

  27. Mais qui est l'autre quel étrange messager

    But who is the other, what a strange messenger

  28. Mais qui est l'autre ton visage est familier

    But who is the other, your face is familiar

  29. Mais qui est l'autre en toi ma vie s'est réfugiée

    But who is the other in you, my life has taken refuge

  30. C'est un ami, c'est lui

    It's a friend, it's him
