Quel émoi devant ce moi qui semble frôler l'autre
What emotions before this self that seems to brush against the other
Quel émoi devant la foi de l'un qui pousse l'autre
What emotions before the faith of one who pushes the other
C'est la solitude de l'espace
It's the solitude of space
Qui résonne en nous, on est si seul, parfois
That resonates within us, we are so alone, sometimes
Je veux croire alors qu'un ange passe
I want to believe then that an angel passes by
Qu'il nous dit tout bas, je suis ici pour toi
That whispers to us softly, I am here for you
Et toi c'est moi
And you are me
Mais qui est l'autre quel étrange messager
But who is the other, what a strange messenger
Mais qui est l'autre ton visage est familier
But who is the other, your face is familiar
Mais qui est l'autre en toi ma vie s'est réfugiée
But who is the other, in you my life has taken refuge
C'est un ami, c'est lui
He's a friend, it's him
Toi et moi du bout des doigts nous tisserons un autre
You and I will weave another with the tips of our fingers
Un autre moi, une autre voix sans que l'un chasse l'autre
Another me, another voice without one pushing the other away
J'ai dans ma mémoire mes faiblesses
I have my weaknesses in my memory
Mais au creux des main toutes mes forces aussi
But in the palm of my hands, all my strengths too
Mais alors pour vaincre la tristesse
But then to conquer the sadness
Surmonter ses doutes, il nous faut un ami
To overcome our doubts, we need a friend
L'ami c'est lui
The friend is him
Mais qui est l'autre quel étrange messager
But who is the other, what a strange messenger
Mais qui est l'autre ton visage est familier
But who is the other, your face is familiar
Mais qui est l'autre en toi ma vie s'est réfugiée
But who is the other in you, my life has taken refuge
C'est un ami, c'est lui
It's a friend, it's him
Mais qui est l'autre quel étrange messager
But who is the other, what a strange messenger
Mais qui est l'autre ton visage est familier
But who is the other, your face is familiar
Mais qui est l'autre en toi ma vie s'est réfugiée
But who is the other in you, my life has taken refuge
C'est un ami, c'est lui
It's a friend, it's him
Mais qui est l'autre quel étrange messager
But who is the other, what a strange messenger
Mais qui est l'autre ton visage est familier
But who is the other, your face is familiar
Mais qui est l'autre en toi ma vie s'est réfugiée
But who is the other in you, my life has taken refuge
C'est un ami, c'est lui
It's a friend, it's him
