My love, my sweet, my king

My child whom I adore

My love, my sweet, my law

My other self

You are the setting sun

Fallen to the ground

You are my final spring

My God, how I love you



I've already made my way

I went towards silence

With such impudence

I wanted no one no more

I hurried into autumn

My final autumn, perhaps

I desired nothing no more

But like a miracle

You came into my light



And you, my love, my king

Breaking my frontiers

But you, my setting sun

My sky, my ground

You gave me all your years

From your heart

You are my final spring

My God, how I love you



I always thought that love

That the most beautiful love

Was one that's incestuous

There was in your eyes

There was in your eyes

A luminous tenderness

You wanted us to live

The most beautiful love

Love the most beautiful



I reopened my house

My large windows

And I crowned your brow

I kissed your mouth

You, my adolescent

You, my heartache

You have laid your 20 years

With my 40



For scarcely are they born

Than they're already condemned

Love of desperation

That never deadens

This diamond that was given us

I burnt our cathedral

Love the most beautiful

The most beautiful love

Is the one that's incestuous (adieu)



Goodbye, my child, my king

My love whom I adore

One day you will understand

That when one loves

One must leave the most beautiful

And conceal the pain

My love, my child, king

I leave, I love you



This is the truth

From the depths of my heart
