Quan Ens Creuem

I can't remember how many times I've imagined
That before reaching the landing
The elevator would stop and we'd be stuck until the next day
That we'd wake up like two lovers

I can't even count how many times I've dreamed
That I jumped from the rooftop
To rescue you from the hands of a coward downstairs
Who's about to let you go

When we cross paths and I see that you see me
My destiny stands up
And with a single gesture, time stops
And applauds you but you don't hear it

I have to confess that there are days when I wake up three quarters of an hour early
And go buy bread
At the bakery in front where you wait for the tram, for a moment
To greet you half trembling

When we cross paths
When we cross paths
When we cross paths
When we cross paths
And I see that you see me

My destiny stands up
And with a single gesture, time stops
And applauds you and before all the ice melts
Confesses a secret
That everyone knows but you don't hear it
