Comme Des Roses

Everything came so quickly
Everything was so big, so beautiful, so strong, baby
My life was filled with an unusual joy
The simple joy of understanding each other
Through gestures and tender words

Everything consumed us in flames
Illuminating our eyes, our hearts, our bodies, our souls
In a few days you became a woman
In a short time you changed my existence
Infusing in me your adolescence

Nothing is hostile to me anymore
I, who without you was just an immobile form
I flow in your arms like easy waters
Docile, tranquil waters

Everything seems clear to me
I was surrounded by boredom, laws, emptiness
Happiness came to guide me
To pull me out of a sinking past
And encourage me to step out of the shadows

Everything is made of harmony
Our sky is higher, clearer, purer, my dear
I, who didn't know what to do with my life
I, who lived at night, I who slept during the day

I regain a taste for everything
And want to lay at your feet
Every single one of my moments
Like roses
Like roses, my love
