«To MD»

I want to hold your hand, my friend,
when I reveal the secrets of my life
to those I hold dear to my heart, my friend

I want to have you cry with me, my friend,
when in solitude I find myself in strife
between an old and new life, my friend

I want to escape with you, my friend
to far away places where I feel not the knife
that life has plunged in my heart, my friend

and in the end, I want you all to me, my friend
to have and hold like no man ever did a wife,
for in my heart and life, in tranquil hours and in strife
I know I'll find in you my constant self
I know I'll find in you a friend, my friend

«If You Knew»

If you knew how I miss you

You would not stay away today

Don't you know how I need you

Stay here, my dear, with me

I need you here beside me

Forever and a day, a day

Together, never parting

Just you, just me, my love

I can't go on without you

Your love is all I'm living for

I love all things about you

Your heart, your soul, my love

I can't go on without you

Forever and a day, a day

I need you here beside me

Forever and a day, a day

And no one else betides me

I love you, I love you, I do

I do

«privation»

t'aimer sans le moindre retour de ton amour
me fait comprendre pourquoi rien
sauf toi et la mort ne me fait pleurer comme un enfant

t'aimer sans le moindre retour de ton amour
me fait comprendre pourquoi rien
sauf toi et la vie ne me fait voir comment je suis petit

mais c'est aussi de mon amour devant le tien
(qui jamais ne donne rien!)
que j'apprends comment je suis grand et noble,
comment je souffre et durcis de ton absence,
sans jamais pouvoir te haïr
