Je ne suis pas mort, je dors

Don't bury me yet
I'm not dead
I sleep

And don't clutter my memory
Of your regrets of your stories
I sleep

Put me in your memories
But I'm not done yet
I sleep, I sleep

Keep your tears and your screams
Whether I was loved or hated
I sleep

If by chance, you never know
I had a friend who loved me
Too bad
Let him forget me
I sleep

Master of shadows and lights
How long is an eternity?
How many times will it be necessary to do
The same road to arrive?
How many moons to disappear?
How many men are still to be reborn?
In the meantime, I sleep

I don't want to be buried
I don't want to be trampled on
I sleep

I wish an ocean would roar
All his horses on rocks
I sleep, I sleep

And don't cover my memory
Of chrysanthemums, of women in black
I sleep

If somewhere, you never know
I had a friend who loved me
Too bad
Let him forget me
I sleep, I sleep, I sleep
