lyrics

Mon ange est souvent en retard. Je l’attends volontiers.
Mais que reste-t-il de moi, quand enfin le voici?

Un appel. Au secours! Mais pourquoi? Pourquoi t’ai-je appelé?
La tension, la résistance. Je me suis endormie, paralysée. J’ai bougé sans le savoir: ma foule m’a bousculée…

L’ange arrive et la chose m’échappe où son intervention pouvait nous donner l’univers ou l’amour.

My angel is often late. I willingly wait for him. But what is left of me when he finally turns up?

A shout. – Help! But why? Why did I call you? Tension, resistance.
I fell asleep, paralysed. I had moved without knowing it: my crowd had jostled me…

The angel arrives and the thing escapes me where his intervention could give us the universe or love.

English trans. by Susan de Muth
