De août à où
From August to where
La nuit, le jour
The night, the day
J'attends, j'écoute
I wait, I listen
Mais coûte que coûte
But come what may
C'est toi qui descends
It's you who comes down
Du firmament, j'ai tout mon temps
From the firmament, I've all the time
J'ai peur, je doute
I'm scared, I doubt
Je pleure et je m'embrouille
I cry and I get tangled
Mais mon cœur me voue
But my heart is devoted
À être meilleure en tout
To being better at everything
Pour toi qui descends
For you who descends
Du firmament, j'ai 5 000 ans
From the firmament, I have 5,000 years
Sous l'ampleur de la voûte
Under the vastness of the vault
Mon bonheur se camoufle
My happiness hides away
S'étire et se retourne
It stretches and turns around
Pour l'arrivée du tour
For the arrival of the turn
Oui, toi qui descends
Yes, you who descends
Du firmament, décidément
From the firmament, undeniably
Si toi, tu m'entends
If you hear me
Du firmament, je t'aime tant
From the firmament, I love you so much
