And One Day a Woman

To have spent white nights dreaming
That which fairy tales leave you to imagine
To have lost your childhood in the street
Disappointed illusions pass imperceptibly by
 
To have fallen lower than dirt
and to the entire earth
To want it then to say nothing
To have left even your dignity
Without asking anything more
than for someone to come finish you
 
[Chorus 1] :
And one day a woman
whose gaze skims over you
Carries you on her shoulders
Like she carries the world
And until the end of strength
Covers with her bark
Your deepest wounds
Then one day a woman
Puts her hand in yours
To talk to you about someone else
Because she carries the world
And until the end of herself
Proves to you that she loves you
Through the love that she floods
 
Day after day you regain confidence
In her patience
You get back up
Find a future in yourself maybe
And above all the desire to be
that which she expects of you
 
[Chorus 2] :
And one day a woman
whose gaze skims over you
Carries you on her shoulders
Like she carries the world
And until the end of strength
Covers with her bark
Your deepest wounds
Your deepest wounds
Then one day a woman
Puts her hand in yours
To talk to you about someone else
Because she carries the world
And until the end of herself
Proves to you that she loves you
Through the love that she floods
Through the love that she floods
 
And one day this woman
Whose gaze touches you
Carries to her mouth
The front of a little world
And up to the end of herself
Gives it everything she has
Every step every second
And the ends of the earth
And the ends of the earth
 
[Spoken]
And the ends of the earth
Because she carries the world
